International audienceThe interactions of thermal and low energy (<1 MeV) neutrons with natural boron-doped silicon has been investigated using Geant4 numerical simulations. The consequences of these interactions on the soft-error rate of 40 nm SRAM at ground level have been carefully analyzed and quantified from thermal neutron accelerated tests at LLB facility, real-time altitude measurements on the ASTEP platform and numerical simulation using a new version of the TIARA Monte-Carlo code (TIARA-G4) capable of taking into account a more accurate description of the SRAM geometry and the true isotopic composition of circuit materials from silicon to back-end-of-line levels
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
