H. Delarochette et al., THE EFFECT OF LAYOUT MODIFICATION ON LATCHUP TRIGGERING IN CMOS BY EXPERIMENTAL AND SIMULATION APPROACHES, IEEE transactions on nuclear science, 41(6), 1994, pp. 2222-2228
The influence of certain geometrical parameters on latchup triggering
in CMOS-1.2 mu m structure is studied by means of experiments and simu
lations on test structures. Electrical characterizations are made in o
rder to validate quantitatively the analysis achieved by numerical sim
ulations. The results of heavy ion irradiation from two different sour
ces are given and discussed with regard to the influence of the same g
eometrical parameters on the sensitivity of the test structures to lat
chup.
