Single Event Effects Simulation Facilities for Studies

Objectives

  • Studies of Single Events Effects (SEE) induced by high energy cosmic radiations and trapped protons in electronic devices

Simulation Facilities

  • CIRIL irradiator fitted with Cf252 and Am241 sources
  • Preferable access to the 14MV Tandem accelerator of the IPN in Orsay (France)
  • Access to additional facilities: UCL (Belgium), PSI (Switzerland), JYFL (Finland), BNL (USA), high-energy facilities GATCHINA& DUBNA (Russia)

Characterization Facilities

  • SEETEST system: SEE characterisation of memories (SRAM, DRAM...) and LSI devices (including a Latch-up test module)
  • MTRSEL system: SEL characterisation for all kind of devices (8 channels)
  • µSET: portable test bench for the SEE testing of complex digital devices (FPGA-based)
  • MEMTOR: advanced test system for mixed and logic devices

On-Board Experiments

  • "Component" boards allowing in-situ SEE/TID testing in several missions (MIR, ISS, SAC-C, MPTB)
  • Currently, SEE and Total Dose test boards on ISS (SPICA), SAC-C (ICARE)

Funding

  • Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES)
  • Centre National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aérospatiales (ONERA)
