In modern technologies, Single Event Upsets can be induced by Low Energy Protons. This phenomenon has been described in the literature for many years now, considering technology nodes lower than 90 nm. Few complete sets of data are available considering low-scale devices, to assess their sensitivity to the proton direct ionization phenomenon and determine the impact of the technology node. This study proposes to assess the in-orbit impact of the direct ionization phenomenon for devices of a technology node of 45 and 28 nm, fully SEU characterized. The importance of the mechanical environment for the prediction is also discussed, as well as the impact of the straggling effect.

We propose a workflow for the analysis and mitigation of 3D ICs to Single Event Transient by upsizing the sensitive transistors. The workflow is applied to a 45-nm 3D LUT and the results show a 37% reduction in failure rate.

This paper presents an analysis of the SEU (Single-Event Upset) cross section of a SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory) based radiation monitor under tilted irradiation angles. The monitor was processed in a 180 nm CMOS technology, and was designed as an ASIC (Application-Specified Integrated Circuit). The monitor was tested with a $mathbf{150}mathbf{GeV}/mathbf{u}$ UHE (Ultra-High Energy) Pb ions with a LET of 8.8 $mathbf{MeV}cdot mathbf{cm}^{2}/mathbf{mg}$, and standard heavy ions from 1.8-60 $mathbf{MeV}cdot mathbf{cm}^{2}/mathbf{mg}$. The comparison of SEU cross sections between UHE ions and standard heavy ions was discussed, and an analysis on different incident angles using geometry distribution was performed. A 2.5-D TCAD simulation was included to verify the geometry theory, the result showed good agreement.

Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC) has been operating a low-flux proton irradiation facility for space radiation effect testing since 2018. The low-flux irradiation facility can provide a very low-flux range from 105 to $boldsymbol{10^{8}#/text{cm}^{2}/text{pulse}}$, good uniformity within $pm 10{%}$ and a large beam area with a wide range of proton energies. In this paper, we report the components of the present diagnostics installed at KOMAC for low-flux proton beam measurement in detail.

The electrostatic potential model of Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) FinFETs is modified for total dose ionization (TID) effects in Fin-on-Insulator (FOI) FinFETs. The adapted model includes the effects of oxide trapped charges (Not) and interface traps (Nit) on the potential distributions in both gate oxide and buried oxide layers (BOX) respectively. TCAD simulations validate it. It is also experimentally demonstrated that the updated model can be employed to predict threshold voltage and its shift ΔVTH induced by various TID irradiations.
