T. Kishimoto et al., OPTIMIZATION OF BURIED IMPLANTED LAYER IN DYNAMIC RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORIES BY SOFT ERROR MAPPING AND ION-BEAM-INDUCED CURRENT, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 104(1-4), 1995, pp. 515-518
Soft error testing using scanning nuclear microprobes, i.e., soft erro
r mapping combined with ion beam-induced current (IBIC) measurements,
can reveal device immune against soft errors, and, hence, optimal desi
gn and process parameters can be determined from the data obtained usi
ng nuclear microprobes. Well structures or buried barrier layers to su
ppress charge carriers, generated by incident energetic particles in D
RAMs, have been fabricated by high-energy ion implantation and the sup
pression efficiency by the well structure was clarified using probe io
n-induced current measurement
