Fundamental Research into Radiation Resiliency of Emerging Circuit Technologies Appropriate to CWMD Mission
Abstract
Fundamental Research into Radiation Resiliency of Emerging Circuit Technologies Appropriate to CWMD Mission. Vanderbilt University will pursue a fundamental research program to investigate the interaction of radiation in the emerging technologies requisite to sensitive electronics critical to the mission of CWMD. Vanderbilt will investigate radiation effects in the emerging CMOS technologies at and below 14nm, with an emphasis on the discovery and development of new science into radiation interactions in the disruptive materials systems and 3-d device geometries known to future technology nodes. This research will be accomplished through radiation experimentation and data analysis in emerging technologies, the development of new technology computer-aided design (TCAD) structures and techniques, and the development of novel hierarchical radiation analysis techniques. The specific objectives of this fundamental research project are to: (1) expand the state-of-the-art in the understanding of radiation interactions in emerging CMOS technologies at and below 14nm through innovative experimentation and novel computer-aided modeling and simulation, (2) elucidate radiation responses/effects of emerging nanodevices and technologies appropriate to the CWMD mission, and (3) develop novel hierarchical radiation modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques appropriate for tracking radiation effects in microelectronics from the technology level to the design level
