The aim of this work is to show the contribution of nuclear events occurring with oxygen nuclei in SRAM-oxide such as SiO2 and emphasize that they are likely to increase the soft error rate by about several tens of percent. Recoil energies are calculated with a dedicated subroutine, which accounts for elastic and nonelastic reactions in the...

The effect of different rates of boron incorporation during the growth in diamond on the thermoluminescence (TL) features of this material is investigated. TL studies performed between liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT) and 320 K show some phosphorescence and two other peaks at 226 and 266 K. For the first time, boron level in polycrystalline...

Chemical Vapor Deposited (CVD) diamond is a very promising material extensively studied in many technologies. Thermoluminescence (TSL) experiments demonstrate that important thermal quenching phenomenon occurs with microwave plasma chemical vapour deposited (MWCVD) diamond. This phenomenon leads to a large discrepancy on the determination of...

Chemical Vapor Deposited (CVD) diamond has great advantages for use as thermoluminescent dosimeters in radiotherapy environment because of the reproducible high quality and controlled doping. This study compares CVD diamond Thermally Stimulated Luminescence response to that of a classical ionization chamber. Clinically-relevant features like...

A Monte Carlo approach is used to obtain statistical information on the effect of the spatial distribution of the numerous secondary ions involved in neutron induced soft error rates (SER). The sorting criteria for the occurrence of upset are derived from a simplification of previous work on full-cell three-dimensional (3-D) SRAM device...
