H. Schleifer et al., MODELING THE FIELD SOFT ERROR RATE OF DRAMS BY VARYING THE CRITICAL CELL CHARGE, Microelectronics and reliability, 38(6-8), 1998, pp. 1139-1141
The Field Soft Error Rate (FSER) has been determined by the variation
of the critical charge and the measurement of the charge collection vo
lume determined by alpha-particle irradiation. The modelled FSER versu
s critical charge dependence agrees well to the one of the Field Soft
Error measurements. The results further show, that the impact of the o
n-chip Alpha-Particle flux can be neglected. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science
