Abstract

This work presents a comparative soft error evaluation of logic gates in bulk FinFET technology from 65- down to 32-nm technology generations. Single Event Transients induced by radiations are modeled with the MUSCA SEP3 tool, which explicitly accounts for the layout and the electrical properties of transistors. Good agreement between the calculated transient current, and TCAD mixed-mode simulations is demonstrated. This work allows for estimating the SER of such logic gates for ground applications, as well as for understanding the impact of voltage and drive strength through analysis of the sensitivity to soft errors.
