A hard look at soft errors
A new free "view-on-demand" net seminar addresses bit errors in memory device manufacturing
Cypress Semiconductor and Avnet Cilicon have launched "A hard look at soft errors", a free "view-on-demand" net seminar addressing bit errors in memory device manufacturing. "Soft errors" are caused by the bombardment of alpha particles and cosmic rays during manufacturing, and are an increasing source of device failures as process linewidths shrink below 0.15um.

This seminar explores the causes of soft errors and presents some steps being taken by memory manufacturers to counteract soft errors and minimise their effects.
Participants are introduced to the concept of "soft error rate", the metric used to quantify device susceptibility to these errors, and process and design improvement techniques are considered.
The presentation also includes a comparison of soft error rates for 90 and 130nm processes.
It is presented by Ritesh Mastipuram, an applications engineer in Cypress's Memory Products Division, who has been involved with Cypress's Soft Error Task Force, new product definition and system analysis for the past two years.
The net seminar is available on-demand at: http://webevents.broadcast.com/cmp/cypress/102903.
