The reliability of partially depleted SOI MOSFETs against ion strikes has b
een investigated using a high energy nuclear microprobe. Transient SOI MOSF
ET behaviour during ion strike has been compared with that obtained by thre
e-dimensional computer simulation,
Both SOI MOSFET structures with and without a floating body have been teste
d to investigate the mechanism of transient MOSFET upset behaviour against
ion beam strikes, resulting in SOI DRAM SEU. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
