Qualitative Characterization of Single-event Transient and Latchup Trends in 180 nm CMOS Technology

Single-event upsets and errors are of growing concern as technology scales toward smaller transistor sizes. While smaller transistors allow for greater on-chip integration, this comes with the penalties of reduced supply voltage overhead and low drive currents compared to larger technologies. These...
