Problems solved by technology

For the storage unit of ferroelectric memory, its failure is mainly due to the transient pulse generated by the NMOS connected to the ferroelectric capacitor being bombarded by single particles, which leads to the charging and discharging of the ferroelectric capacitor, thereby affecting its polarization state
In addition, during the read-out process of ferroelectric memory, the capacitor storing data needs to be reversed in polarization stat

Embodiment Construction

[0044] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Principle of the present invention is:

[0046] Since the data has been written before the irradiation of the chip to be strengthened, and there is no external bias during the irradiation process, all ferroelectric capacitors in the chip are in a polarized state and are isolated from the outside world during the irradiation process. The internal electric field is mainly The depolarization field (E D ). After high-energy γ-rays are incident on ferroelectric capacitor materials, primary electrons, secondary electrons and even tertiary electrons can be generated. These electrons can excite the valence band electrons in the material to the conduction band, generating a large number of electron-hole pairs. The electron-hole pairs are rapidly separated under the action of the local electric field of the ferroelectric capacitive domain boundary, and a part of them is...

Abstract

The invention provides a strengthening method for resisting against single event upset of ferroelectric memory. The method comprises the following steps: selecting sample chips and grouping according to irradiation dose; comparing a radiation sample with a non-radiated sample and removing the sample chips with seriously degraded performances; performing a single event upset test on the acquired sample chips with normal performances on a heavy ion accelerator; taking the non-radiated same-batch sample chips as control groups; testing under a same experimental environment; acquiring the single event upset sections of the sample chips under different accumulated dosages; analyzing section data in e, thereby acquiring an optimal accumulated dosage meeting the strengthening requirement; and taking the optimal accumulated dosage as a standard dosage for resisting against single event upset and reinforcing of the ferroelectric memory. The invention relates to an external reinforcing method; the layout and production process of the chips are not changed and the packaging size and the working sequence of the chips are not changed, so that the reinforced chips can be directly used for replacing the unreinforced chips; and the circuit does not need to be redesigned.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of anti-radiation hardening of semiconductor devices, in particular to a method for hardening anti-single-event reversal of a ferroelectric memory, and is especially suitable for hardening a commercial ferroelectric memory storing fixed data. Background technique [0002] Semiconductor memory is an indispensable and important component in aerospace electronic systems, and is responsible for various data storage tasks. With the rapid development of the aerospace industry, the demand for high-performance memory in related industries is increasing day by day, but the existing memory technology has exposed some obvious defects. The volatile nature of SRAM and DRAM causes them to lose data when the power is turned off, while the writing speed of traditional non-volatile memory FLASH and EEPROM is slow and the power consumption is high. [0003] Ferroelectric memory (FRAM) is a new type of non-volatile memory that integrat...
