BACKGROUND
[0002] When a space electronic device enters a space radiation environment, the interference of space radiation particles on the SRAM unit will cause it to not work normally, thereby having a great impact on the spacecraft. The single event effect (Single Event Effect, abbreviated as SEE) caused by high-energy particles in the radiation environment to the electronic system is the most serious damage phenomenon, which has the greatest impact on the reliability of the memory. The most common consequence of SEE is single event upset (Single Event Upset, abbreviated as SEU), which will cause the data of the storage unit to change. Therefore, the anti-radiation performance of the SRAM unit has become an important problem that cannot be ignored in the development of integrated circuits today. There are various ways to solve the anti-radiation problem in the prior art, among which some guarantee the normal read and write speed of the unit while solving the anti-radiation problem, but the anti-radiation effect is limited; or the anti-radiation effect is obvious, but the read and write speed of the unit is slow.

[0053] like Figure 4 The image shows a radiation-hardened SRAM cell called SEA14T, which consists of 14 transistors and can withstand all single-node and some dual-node flips. However, because it only uses two NMOS transistors as transmission transistors, the read and write speed of this cell is relatively slow.

[0063] The principle of the RHC-16T anti-radiation SRAM unit based on the polarity reinforcement technology is as follows: during the maintaining operation, the bit lines BL and BLB are pre-charged to high level, the word line WL is low level, and the initial state is maintained in the circuit.
[0064] During the reading operation, the bit lines BL and BLB are pre-charged to high level in advance, the word line WL is high level, and the transmission tubes N9, N10, N11 and N12 are opened. During the reading operation, if the data stored in the unit circuit is "0", that is, "Q=S1=0, QN=S0=1", the bit line BL is discharged to ground through the discharge path 1: N9 and N2, the discharge path 2: N9 and N5, and the discharge path 3: N11 and N7, so that the bit line generates a potential difference, and the data is read through the sensitive amplifier. If the data stored in the unit is "1", that is, "Q=S1=1, QN=S0=0", the bit line BLB is discharged to ground through the discharge path 1: N10 and N1, the discharge path 2: N10 and N6, and the discharge path 3: N12 and N8, so that the bit line generates a potential difference, and the data is read through the sensitive amplifier.
[0065] In the write operation, the bit line BL and BLB are pre-charged to the level signal to be written, the word line WL is high, and the transfer tubes N9, N10, N11 and N12 are open. If BL is high and BLB is low, then "1" is written to the storage node S1 and Q through the transistors N9 and N11 respectively; if BL is low and BLB is high, then "1" is written to the storage node QN and S0 through the transistors N10 and N12 respectively.
[0066] When only considering the improvement of the cell circuit structure on the anti-radiation performance, if the storage node of the cell is bombarded by particles, since the nodes Q and QN of the cell are both surrounded by NMOS transistors. According to the polarity hardening principle, the sensitive node NMOS tube is bombarded by space particles, only a "1-0" voltage pulse is generated at the node, and the pulse cannot affect the state of other transistors due to the existence of the gate capacitance, which makes the external nodes S0 and S1 effectively avoid flipping, and the stability of the data of the Q and QN nodes ensures that the external nodes S0 and S1 can recover to the initial state after flipping, thereby improving the anti-SEU capability of the cell. If other non-critical nodes are bombarded by particles, the cell is less affected.
[0067] The RHC-16T anti-radiation SRAM cell based on the polarity hardening technology is simulated and verified, an average current value is set, the simulation temperature is 27 degrees, the source of P1, P2, P3 and P4 is connected to a 12V working voltage, and the simulation is carried out under this condition. The word line WL, the bit line BL and BLB, the storage node Q, QN, S0 and S1 timing waveform conditions are as shown in Figure 6 The transient waveform simulation conditions of the storage node Q, QN, S0 and S1 at different times and different nodes bombarded by a double exponential current source pulse are as shown in Figure 7 As shown in Figure 8 As shown in Figures 1-4 Compared with the prior art SRAM cell circuit in
