Abstract
Experimental characterization of the effects of power supply interconnect resistance on the transient radiation induced upset level of a 2K SRAM and correlations with rail span collapse simulations are presented. The results show that the dose-rate upset threshold increases if columns of RAM cells are isolated from the Vss supply grid. The magnitude of this increase is predicted well by computer simulations.
