  • Abstract
    Monte Carlo procedures have been developed to obtain soft error rates (SER). The SER for a 1μm groundrule DRAM, due to alphas enamating from processing materials, shows the prevalence of multiple errors. SER reducing methods, using epi-layers, buried implant layers and Hi-C structures have been evaluated and found to be marginally effective.
