Press Release: Advancements in Accelerating Reliability Evaluation of Electronic Devices – Development of Technology Enabling Semiconductor Soft Error Evaluation in Various Neutron Facilities

by users

Regarding the research achievements of JST OPERA, a joint press release was conducted on June 5, 2023, by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Socionext Inc., HIREC Corporation, Kyoto Institute of Technology, and Kyushu University.

With this method, it becomes possible to evaluate soft error rates using numerous general neutron sources both domestically and internationally, without the need for limited special neutron sources. This enables meeting the increasing demand for soft error rate evaluation.

This press release is based on the paper below.

S. Abe, M. Hashimoto, W. Liao, T. Kato, H. Asai, K. Shimbo, H. Matsuyama, T. Sato, K. Kobayashi, and Y. Watanabe, “A Terrestrial SER Estimation Methodology Based on Simulation Coupled with One-Time Neutron Irradiation Testing,” IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, in early access.
