Current Radiation Hardening Considerations
Category Generic CMOS
Technology
CA SA FPGA
RH Availability
Poor Niche vendors
for RH;
Commercial
would rely on
RHBS and
RHBD
Niche vendors –
none currently
available, but
several vendors
are developing
Limited, but new
developments
underway
TID
RHBS; improving
with scaling
RHBS, RHBD,
RHBP
RHBS, RHBP,
partial RHBD
RHBS
SEE
RHBS – not;
increasing
sensitivity; SOI?

Notes
IP: Limited RH IP
available;
Commercial IP?
Commercial
manufacturers
working soft error
rate (SER) issues
RH levels can be
“tuned” via
RHBD or RHBP;
Difficult for
radiation testing
Circuit tiles can
incorporate
mitigation
options
External and
internal SEE
mitigation (TMR,
scrubbing,
reconfiguration,
etc) for logic and
configuration

Related SOC Radiation and Reliability
Considerations
New Silicon
-90nm CMOS
-new materials
New Architectures
-new interconnects
-new power distribution
-new frequencies
New Design Flows/Tools
-programming algorithms, application
-design rules, tools, simulation, layout
-hard/soft IP instantiation
New Package
-Inspection
-Lead free
New Workmanship
-inspection, lead free
-stacking, double-sided
-signal integrity
New Board Material
-thermal coefficients
-material interfaces
New Connectors
-higher-speed, lower noise
-serial/parallel
BEWARE! Support circuitry (power, memory, IO, etc) can often be
limiting factor for system reliability and radiation performance
