Impact of scaling on the soft error sensitivity of bulk, FDSOI and FinFET technologies due to atmospheric radiation
This paper investigates the terrestrial radiation impacts on the Soft Error sensitivity along the VLSI roadmap. The results and analyses are based on the ability of MUSCA SEP3 to model Soft Errors in VLSI circuits. Significant differences were observed for bulk, FDSOI and FinFET technologies. The altitude effect was investigated in the last part and a risk assessment was presented. Results show that the muon impact can be the main contribution for the 22-nm node and beyond.
