Description

This talk introduces the characterization of soft error rate in terrestrial environment. Cosmic-ray air showers produce neutrons and muons as secondary particles in the atmosphere. Traditionally, high-energy neutrons are thought to be a dominant source of soft errors in the terrestrial environment, and neutron white beams that reproduce the energy spectra on the ground are used for accelerated SEE testing. Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that muons can induce bit upsets in advanced SRAM memories. This talk discusses SEE testing for neutron- and muon-induced SEUs with emphasis on the facilities used in our work.
