Single Event Upset Critical Charge Measurements and Modeling of 65 nm Silicon-on-Insulator Latches and Memory Cells

Experimental and modeling results are presented on the critical charge required to upset exploratory 65 nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) circuits. Using a mono-energetic, collimated, beam of particles the charge deposition was effectively modulated and modeled.
