Effect of charge sharing on the single event transient response of CMOS logic gates

This paper presents three new types of pulse quenching mechanism(NMOS-to-PMOS,PMOS-to-NMOS and NMOS-to-NMOS) and verifies them using 3-D TCAD mixed mode simulations at the 90 nm node. The three major contributions of this paper are:(1) with the exception of PMOS-to-PMOS,pulse quenching is also prominent for PMOS-to-NMOS and NMOS-to-NMOS in a 90 nm process.(2) Pulse quenching in general correlates weakly with ion LET,but strongly with incident angle and layout style(i.e.spacing between transistors and n-well...
