摘要:
利用皮秒脉冲激光单粒子效应试验装置研究了一款宇航级Flash芯片的电流“尖峰”(HCS)现象。利用激光准确定位的特点,确定电流“尖峰”是由芯片的电荷泵单元充放电引起的,不同的激光能量、入射位置会触发不同频率、相同幅值的电流“尖峰”现象,虽然电流“尖峰”发生的瞬间电流增大的现象与单粒子锁定效应表现一致,但机理完全不同。当激光能量足够高(对应于重离子LET值99.8 MeV·cm2/mg)时,在电荷泵的同一个敏感位置累积多次辐照不断触发芯片发生电流“尖峰”,芯片会因多次充放电而损坏。

Abstract:High Current Spike (HCS) of nonvolatile Flash chip has been tested by pico-second pulsed laser single event effect experimental facility. Accurate positioning of pulsed laser confirmed that sensitive area triggering HCS was charge pump of the chip. Different laser energies and specific locations in charge pump can trigger the same amplitude current spikes with different time cycle, although HCS has the same phenomenon with single event latch-up, and completely different mechanisms. When laser energy was high enough to be equivalent to heavy ion's LET value of 99.8 MeV·cm2/mg, continuous irradiation on the same sensitive area of charge pump can trigger the high current spike of the chip, which will cause catastrophic failure to the chip due to multiple charging and discharging.
