  • Abstract
    The new SET characterization technique for 0.15 mum Fully Depleted CMOS/SOI digital circuitries was investigated using SPICE and TCAD simulations. The SPICE simulation with a switch can readily reproduce the corresponding SET voltage response for a certain LET. This technique is valid as an alternative in all load and complementary transistor conditions, irrespective of the presence of a plateau region in the SET current waveform generated in a struck transistor.
