  • Abstract
    Heavy ion-induced latch-up, in commercial CMOS SRAMs and PROMs, was examined using a laboratory Californium-252 source, in order to simulate the cosmic environment. The ability to use the CASE system (Californium-252 Assessment of Single-event Effects) enabled detailed electrical measurements to be made of the devices in the latched condition.
