Short Course Description & Chairman
COURSE DESCRIPTION: A one-day short course, “Predicting, Characterizing, and Mitigating SEE in Advanced Semiconductor Technologies,” will be presented at the 2019 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC). The course will discuss single event effects (SEE) that occur in components used in space systems. The past four decades have seen our understanding of the range of SEE experienced by space systems expand substantially as more modern devices have been exposed to the space radiation environment. Vulnerabilities of devices today are much more complicated than in the past, and those vulnerabilities continue to threaten space systems as parts are scaled, new materials are used, devices become faster, and new mechanisms are discovered.
This short course is organized into four sections. It includes an up-to-date overview of SEE mechanisms and rates; discussions of various methods to test for SEE and isolate sensitive nodes; and a discussion of SEE in advanced components, and the challenges posed by some of these components for our test methodologies. All of the testing presentations will show case studies, indicate how the techniques are used to isolate susceptible nodes, discuss correlations between particle tests and photon tests, and indicate how the test methodologies point to strategies for mitigation.
CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEUS): For those interested in Continuing Education Units (CEUs), an open book exam will be held at the end of the course. The course, endorsed by the IEEE and by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), is valued at 0.6 CEUs.

He is an Associate Editor for IEEE TNS and serves on the Editorial Board for MRS Bulletin.
Short Course Monday - Part I
BASICS OF SINGLE EVENT EFFECTS MECHANISMS AND PREDICTIONS Dr. Daisuke Kobayashi, ISAS/JAXA
Dr. Daisuke Kobayashi, ISAS/JAXA, will provide basic knowledge of SEE mechanisms and rates that will underlie this year’s short course. More than three decades have passed since the term “single-event” appeared for the first time in the titles of NSREC short course presentations. In 1983, two lecturers used “single-event upsets”. Since then this research topic has evolved to be very wide and complex, so that we are now collectively calling the field of investigation “single-event effects.” This presentation will be useful, in particular for those who are new to this field, to see how SEE have evolved along with the diversity of processes and circuitry in semiconductor parts and their environments. Parts are now fabricated with various materials, such as tungsten and copper and soon cobalt, with complex circuits like radiation-hardened latches. They must withstand the bombardment of heavy ions, protons, electrons, neutrons, muons, photons, etc. The complexity of the mechanisms and predictions is expanding. This talk will provide a foundation for understanding SEE and a background for the remaining presentations in the short course.
Outline: ■ Introduction o An Evolutionary Tree-An Analysis of Course Notes ■ Origin of SEE o First Observations o Basics of Mechanisms and Predictions • Charge Deposition and Collection Mechanisms • Event Rate Predictions ■ Evolution of SEE o Evolution Mechanisms-What Causes the Diversity o Non-Destructive SEE • SEU-From Single Upsets to Hundreds and More • SET-From ns to ps, but still 100 ps? o Destructive SEE • SEL-From Significant to Less? • SEB/SEGR-From V/cm to K ■ Future Perspective ■ Summary
Speaker Bio: Daisuke Kobayashi received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Tokyo in 2005. He joined ISAS/JAXA, where he is now Assistant Professor of Spacecraft Engineering. He was an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science from 2015 to 2017.
Short Course Monday - Part II
SEE TESTING WITH BROAD AND FOCUSED PARTICLE BEAMS Dr. Arto Javanainen, Department of Physics, University of Jyväskylä, Finland / Department of EECS, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA
Arto Javanainen will discuss issues related with Single Event Effects testing using accelerated particle beams, both broad and focused. Basic physics mechanisms governing the energy deposition and its relation with particle energy will be reviewed. Basic things to be considered when testing with accelerators are addressed. Some of the common pitfalls to avoid when performing SEE tests at particle accelerators will be identified.
Modern technologies with deep submicron feature sizes and low critical charge may exhibit sensitivity to proton direct ionization that can lead to concerns about their susceptibility to muons, hence increased soft error rates in ground level applications. Also SEEs induced by high energy electrons may be a concern for some applications, like those planned for Jupiter missions. What requirements do these issues set for the facilities and the SEE tests in general?
The presentation will introduce different types of facilities available for SEE testing. A non-exhaustive listing of both the conventional broad and also the focused (milli- and micro-) beam facilities, and their general characteristics will be given.
Outline: ■ Introduction ■ Particle-matter interactions o LET o Projected range o Nuclear reactions o Energy deposition in small volumes ■ SEE Testing at facilities o Broad beams o Focussed beams ■ Conclusions
Speaker Bio: Arto Javanainen is a Senior Researcher at University of Jyväskylä (JYU), Finland, and Adjoint Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University. He received his PhD from JYU in 2012. He is the deputy coordinator in EU Horizon2020 MSCA Innovative Training Network, RADSAGA.
Short Course Monday - Part IIIA
LASER-BASED TESTING FOR SEE Dr. Dale McMorrow, U. S. Naval Research Laboratory
Dr. Dale McMorrow will discuss application of pulsed-laser approaches to SEE testing and evaluation. Charge carrier generation induced by pulsed-laser excitation has become an essential tool for the investigation of SEE in micro- and nano-electronic structures. A primary advantage of laser-based approaches lies in their spatial selectivity: the ability to pinpoint and characterize sensitive nodes of circuits without the damage associated with particle-based radiation sources. This talk will address the fundamental physics associated with both linear- and nonlinear-optical approaches for charge generation in semiconductor materials, followed by examples that illustrate various aspects of the approach, including sensitive node identification, radiation hardened circuit verification (RHBD and RHBP), basic mechanisms investigations, model validation and calibration, screening devices for space missions, and fault injection to understand error propagation in complex circuits. Finally, recent advances in putting laser SEE approaches on a more quantitative basis will be discussed, including progress toward correlating pulsed-laser and heavy-ion measurements.
Outline: ■ Laser-induced single-event effects o Charge generation by optical absorption o Charge density profiles for SPA and TPA o Top side vs. back side excitation o Spatial selectivity ■ History and background o Single Photon Absorption (SPA)/Beer’s Law o Two Photon Absorption (TPA)/Nonlinear pulse propagation and carrier generation ■ Experimental approach o Basic experimental setup o Calibration and dosimetry ■ Selected examples and case studies ■ Recent developments and future considerations
Speaker Bio: Dale McMorrow received his Ph.D. from Florida State University in 1984. He joined the Naval Research Laboratory in 1988 and is currently Head of the Radiation Effects Section. He is an IEEE Fellow and Senior Member of OSA.
Short Course Monday - Part IIIB
THE CURRENT STATUS AND POTENTIAL OF PULSED X-RAYS AS A HIGH-RESOLUTION PROBE FOR SINGLE EVENT EFFECTS TESTING Mr. Stephen LaLumondiere, The Aerospace Corporation
Mr. Stephen LaLumondiere will describe the application of pulsed x-rays for SEE and TID testing of microelectronic devices. Pulsed x-rays from synchrotron-based light sources have recently been demonstrated as a highly effective tool for SEE testing with potentially unprecedented spatial resolution. This part of the short course will describe the background and rationale for synchrotron based x-ray SEE testing. Other potential sources, and their benefits and limitations will be described. A detailed description of the technique, its challenges and limitations will also be presented. Several case studies of pulsed x-ray SEE testing will be detailed, including SETs in linear bipolar devices, wide bandgap materials and the status of work to correlate x-rays with energetic particle LETs. The impact of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) upgrade on future SEE testing activities will also be discussed.
Outline: ■ Introduction ■ Relevant x-ray Sources o Tabletop Lasers o X-ray FELs o Synchrotrons ■ Synchrotron x-ray testing at the Advanced Photon Source o X-ray interactions with materials o X-ray focusing techniques o Typical beamline setup for SEE testing o X-ray Flux calibration ■ Case studies o SETs in wide bandgap materials o SETs in linear bipolar integrated circuits o Work on correlation with energetic particles ■ Other related research ■ Proposal system for accessing synchrotron facilities ■ Impact of the APS upgrade on SEE testing activities
Speaker Bio: Stephen LaLumondiere is a Member of the Technical Staff in the Photonics Technology Department at The Aerospace Corporation (joined 1988).
Short Course Monday - Part IV
SEE TEST AND ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX DEVICES IN ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES: FROM CELLS TO SYSTEMS Mr. Manuel Cabanas-Holmen, Boeing Research & Technology
Mr. Manuel Cabanas-Holmen will discuss the challenges of SEE testing modern complex devices in advanced semiconductor processing nodes. In modern technologies, standard and Radiation Hardened by Design (RHBD) logic gates, storage elements and macros exhibit strong angular sensitivity that should guide how we test complex devices to avoid naively optimistic results. Fault tolerant microprocessors often have multiple circuit cells and macros with starkly different angular sensitivity, and it is often necessary to perform extensive SEE test campaigns to acquire the data necessary to estimate their error rate. At-speed SEE testing of high performance mixed signal macros, such as Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC) with high speed interfaces, requires complex instrumentation with continuous data capture and concurrent error detection algorithms. Frequently, it is preferable to synchronize the ADC data capture with the radiation source for a one-to-one correlation of a laser pulse or ion spill with the resulting effect. Advanced packaging solutions using 2.5D and 3D heterogeneous integration increase the complexity of SEE testing many fold by combining multiple complex devices in a single package, without access to the interfaces within the module. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of the challenges to be faced by those testing advanced technologies for susceptibility to SEE.
Outline: ■ Introduction ■ Charge Sharing Effects in Complex Devices o Charge sharing effects of modern bulk technologies o Impacts on radiation hardened cell design o Single Event Multiple Transients (SEMT) ■ Impact of Angular Sensitivity on Complex Devices o Angular sensitivity of modern technologies o Estimating error rates of complex devices with multiple circuit cells and macros with different angular sensitivity ■ At-Speed SEE Testing of High Performance Mixed Signal Macros o SEE testing of mixed signal macros with high speed interfaces o Complex instrumentation with continuous data capture and concurrent error detection ■ Single Photon Absorption (SPA)/Two Photon Absorption (TPA) Laser and Milli-Beam Testing of Complex Devices ■ Advanced Packaging Solutions o 2.5D and 3D Heterogeneous Integration o SEE Testing of 3D stacked memories ■ Conclusions
Speaker Bio: Manuel Cabanas-Holmen is a principal investigator and project lead at Solid State Electronics Development group at Boeing Research & Technology with 20 years of experience in RHBD.
