Layout-Based Soft Error Rate Estimation Framework Considering Multiple Transient Faults - From Device to Circuit Level.

This paper investigated the soft errors caused by particle strikes, such as high-energy neutrons, extending beyond the deep submicrometer era. Considering the structure of the layout and resulting nuclear reactions, multiple transient faults (MTFs) tend to be induced more frequently than do single transient faults (STFs), due to the effects of technology scaling. This means that the soft error rat...
