3、1.1 This guide defines the requirements and procedures fortesting integrated circuits and other devices for the effects ofsingle event phenomena(SEP)induced by irradiation withheavy ions having an atomic number Z 2.This descriptionspecifically excludes the effects of neutrons,protons,and otherlighte
4、r particles that may induce SEP via another mechanism.SEP includes any manifestation of upset induced by a singleion strike,including soft errors(one or more simultaneousreversible bit flips),hard errors(irreversible bit flips),latchup(persistent high conducting state),transients induced in com-bina
5、torial devices which may introduce a soft error in nearbycircuits,power field effect transistor(FET)burn-out and gaterupture.This test may be considered to be destructive becauseit often involves the removal of device lids prior to irradiation.Bit flips are usually associated with digital devices an
6、d latchupis usually confined to bulk complementary metal oxidesemiconductor,(CMOS)devices,but heavy ion induced SEPisalso observed in combinatorial logic programmable read onlymemory,(PROMs),and certain linear devices that may re-spond to a heavy ion induced charge transient.Power transis-tors may b
