研究目的
To study the radiation damage caused by X-ray to the 45 nm SRAM through experiments and analyze the effects of critical charge and metal interconnect overlayers of different materials.
研究成果
The study concludes that secondary electrons generated by X-rays can cause SEU in 45 nm SRAM devices under low power states. The probability of errors increases as the voltage decreases. The interaction of photons with high atomic number materials in metal interconnect overlayers can generate more secondary electrons, increasing the SEU cross section.
研究不足
The study focuses on 45 nm SRAM devices and the effects of X-ray irradiation under low power states. The findings may not be directly applicable to devices with different feature sizes or under different irradiation conditions.
