3 Outline Introduction Soft Errors High Threshold ( V t ) Charge Creation Logic Attenuation Methodology Flip-Flops, SRAM Logic chain- Inverter & Nands Results Flip-flops SRAMs Combinational logic
4 Soft Errors Soft errors or transient errors are circuit errors caused due to excess charge carriers induced primarily by external radiations These errors cause an upset event but the circuit it self is not damaged.
5 Soft Errors: Sources At ground level, there are three major contributors to Soft errors. Alpha particles emitted by decaying radioactive impurities in packaging and interconnect materials. Cosmic Ray induced neutrons cause errors due the charge induced due to Silicon Recoil Neutron induced 1 B fission which releases a Alpha particle and 7 Li
6 Soft Errors The Phenomena Current G A particle strike S D n+ n channel n p substrate B
7 Soft Errors The Phenomena VDD A particle strike Bit Flip!!! V in V out C L
8 Soft Errors For a soft error to occur at a specific node in a circuit, the collected charge Q at that particular node should be more then Q critical As CMOS device sizes decrease, the charge stored at each node decreases (due to lower nodal capacitance and lower supply voltages). This potentially leads to a much higher rate of soft errors
9 Soft Errors Soft Errors can cause problems in 3 different ways Affects the memory like Caches and Memory Affects the data path if the error propagates to the pipeline registers. Change the character of a SRAM-Based FGPA circuit.(firm Error)

12 Outline Introduction Soft Errors High Threshold ( V t ) Charge Creation Logic Attenuation Methodology Flip-Flops, SRAM Logic chain- Inverter & Nands Results Flip-flops SRAMs Combinational logic
13 Charge creation V t = V fb + V b + V ox where,v t is the threshold voltage, V fb is the flat band voltage, V b is the voltage drop across the depletion region at inversion, V ox stands for potential drop across the gate oxide By increasing the threshold voltage, we increase the energy required to push the electrons up the valence band
14 Logic attenuation under high V t Gain G is given by (1+r) G = (V M -V T -V DSat /2)(λ n - λ p ) Where, r is switching threshold, V m is half of supply voltage, V dsat is drain saturation current, and λ n, λ p are channel length modulation factors for n-channel and p- channel
15 Logic attenuation under high V t Low V th.5 High V th
16 Logic attenuation under high V t higher gain, hence a transient pulse will propagate in a system for a longer time and travels more logic stages. but the circuit will be slower!
17 Logic attenuation- Hazard Bubble Clock Flip flop/ Latch Gate 6 Gate 5 Gate 4 Setup Hold Window of Vulnerability
18 Error Masking Logical masking : A particle strikes a portion of the combinational logic that doesn t determine output. Electrical masking : The pulse resulting from a particle strike is attenuated by subsequent logic gates. Latching-window masking : The pulse resulting from a particle strike reaches a latch, but not at the clock transition.

29 SRAMs Qcritical of 6-t SRAM changes a little Because of the regenerative nature the back to back inverters ASRAM, the Qcritical increases for the preferred state Due the difference in the driving strength of the PMOS or NMOS
30 Asymmetric SRAM VDD (Optimized for Leakage of ) The lower current drive of the high threshold voltage transistors make this design vulnerable to a stored value of 1(its non favorable state for leakage reduction).

42 Conclusion Certain designs (like TGFF) have higher Q critical for high V t, others (like static logic chains) have lower Q critical. ASRAM has lower leakage and higher Q critical Delay balancing can potentially increase SER, can use high-vt TGFF to buy back the Q critical. Analysis of leakage reduction strategies on SER is critical
