A temperature dependence analysis of the single event transient current induced by heavy ions irradiation is performed in the range of 300K to 500K on a 1μm SOI CMOS MOSFET standard 6T-SRAM cell. The Sentaurus TCAD mixedmode numerical simulation showed a significant impact of the temperature on the current induced by the radiation and as a result, an increase of the 6T-SRAM sensitivity upon radiation. A SOI MOSFET compact model introduced in SPICE as a Verilog-A module reproducing the single event effects was developed. This model shows a very good agreement with the TCAD simulations results but with a drastic reduction of the simulation time. Furthermore this model could be extended to other circuits simulations. This result is of importance to allow for extensive circuit design studies which cannot be carried out with TCAD physical simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
