Analysis of the effects of natural radiation on Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) memories

In New Space, the need for reduced cost, higher performance, and more prompt delivery plans in radiation-harsh environments have motivated spacecraft designers to use Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) devices.

Sumario:In New Space, the need for reduced cost, higher performance, and more prompt delivery plans in radiation-harsh environments have motivated spacecraft designers to use Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) devices. This Ph.D. thesis investigates the behavior of state-of-the-art mamories and FPGA manufactured in emerging technologies, including nv-SRAM, Ferroelectric Random-Access Memory (FRAM), Resistive Random-Access Memory (ReRAM)), Magnetic Random-Access Memory (MRAM), and a 28-nm bulk Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA against radiation effects. Radiation-ground test were conductted under 15-MeV and 1-MeV protons, thermal, and 14.8/14.2-MeV neutrons, leading to various categories of radiation effects. Experimental results will be presented and discussed with the CY14V101QS and CY15B101J nv-SRAMs, the CY15B102Q and CY15B104Q FRAMs (manufactured by Infineon Technologies), the MB85AS4MT and MB85AS8MT ReRAMs (manufactured by Fujitsu), and the MR10Q010CSC and MR25H40CDF MRAMs (manufactured by Everspin), and the Artix-7 XC7A100T Xilinx FPGA...
