Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a dual-power redundant latch instantaneous dose rate radiation hardening trigger of an FDSOI process, belonging to the technical field of integrated circuit anti-radiation hardening. Background Art

[0002] With the development of integrated circuits in my country, semiconductor devices have been widely used in the defense field. Semiconductor devices are very sensitive to radiation, and the radiation resistance of integrated circuits has become the key to ensure the normal operation of semiconductor devices in special environments.

[0003] Integrated circuits (ICs) experience different radiation effects in different radiation environments. These effects can be categorized as transient dose rate effects, total dose effects, and single event effects. Transient dose rate radiation effects occur when gamma rays, or other radiation, strike semiconductor materials within a very short period of time, stimulating a large number of electron-hole pairs. These effects, influenced by electric fields and concentration gradients, generate photocurrents, which in turn can cause data flip-flops and disturbances in the circuit. Power supply voltage stability is crucial for the proper operation of integrated circuits. One of the most prominent manifestations of transient dose rate radiation effects in circuits is the severe disturbance of the power supply voltage, which directly impacts the proper functioning of the IC. Flip-flops are among the most basic and common components in digital circuits. Optimizing their performance under transient dose rate radiation is crucial for the application of integrated circuits in these environments.

[0004] The FDSOI (Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator) process is a key technology path for continuing Moore's Law. Exceptional in low power consumption and high performance, the FDSOI process is currently widely used in sensors, automotive chips, aerospace, and other fields.

[0111] In summary, the normal logical function of the trigger of the present invention is achieved.

[0112] When input signal D is low and clock signal CLK is high, the master latch circuit is in a latched state. The third clocked stacked inverter INV6, whose power supply is VDD and controlled by the second clock signal circuit CLK2, is turned on. The slave latch circuit is in a transparent state, with the signal at common node N4 at a low level and the signal at common node N5 at a high level. If the power supply VDD is affected by the instantaneous dose rate and is pulled low, common node N5 outputs an error signal. The slave latch structure, consisting of the sixth clocked stacked inverter INV10, whose power supply is VDD and controlled by the second clock signal circuit CLK2, and the fifth stacked inverter INV11, whose power supply is VDD, is affected and turned on, outputting an error signal that affects common node N5. At this time, since power supply VDDC is unaffected, the fourth stacked inverter INV7, whose power supply is VDDC and controlled by the first clock signal circuit CLK1, whose power supply is VDDC, pulls the signal at common node N5 high through feedback, causing it to recover.

[0113] When the input signal D is low and the clock signal CLK is low, the master latch circuit is in a transparent state. The third clocked stacked inverter INV6, whose power supply is VDD and controlled by the second clock signal circuit CLK2, is non-conductive. The signal at the common node N5 represents the data stored in the slave latch circuit and is assumed to be high. In the slave latch circuit, the slave latch structure formed by the sixth clocked stacked inverter INV10, whose power supply is VDD and controlled by the second clock signal circuit CLK2, and the fifth stacked inverter INV11, whose power supply is VDD, and the backup redundant latch structure formed by the fourth stacked inverter INV7, whose power supply is VDDC, and the fourth clocked stacked inverter INV8 and the fifth clocked stacked inverter INV9, whose power supply is VDDC and controlled by the first clock signal circuit CLK1, are in a latched state. The signals at the common nodes S1 and S2 are low. The power supply VDD signal is affected by the transient dose rate radiation and is pulled low. The slave latch structure formed by the sixth stacked inverter INV10, whose power supply is VDD and controlled by the second clock signal circuit CLK2, and the fifth stacked inverter INV11, whose power supply is VDD, is turned off, and the signal at common node N5 is pulled low. At this time, the fifth stacked inverter INV9, whose power supply is VDDC and controlled by the first clock signal circuit CLK1, is turned off, ensuring that the signal at common node S1 is not affected by the disturbance of the signal at common node N5. Common node S1 still latches the correct signal. The fourth stacked inverter INV7, whose power supply is VDDC and controlled by the first clock signal circuit CLK1, and the fourth stacked inverter INV8, whose power supply is VDDC and controlled by the first clock signal circuit CLK1, output the correct latched signal, restoring the signal at common node N5.

[0114] The input signal D is at a high level. When the clock signal CLK is at a high level, the main latch circuit is in a latched state, the third clock-controlled stacked inverter INV6 controlled by the second clock signal circuit CLK2 with a power supply of VDD is turned on, and the slave latch circuit is in a transparent state. The common node N4 signal is at a high level, the common node N5 signal is at a low level, and the common nodes S1 and S2 signals are at a high level. At this time, the power supply VDD signal is affected by the instantaneous dose rate radiation and is pulled low, and the common node S2 signal is pulled low. The signal output from the slave latch structure composed of the sixth clock-controlled stacked inverter INV10 controlled by the second clock signal circuit CLK2 with a power supply of VDD and the fifth stacked inverter INV11 with a power supply of VDD to the common node N5 is still at a low level. The circuit composed of the fourth stacked inverter INV7 whose power supply is VDDC and the fifth clock-controlled stacked inverter INV9 whose power supply is VDDC and is controlled by the first clock signal circuit CLK1 is not affected by the disturbance of the power supply VDD, and the common node S1 signal is still at a high level. At this time, the signal outputted by the fourth stacked inverter INV7 whose power supply is VDDC to the common node N5 is also at a low level.

[0115] When input signal D is high and clock signal CLK is low, the master latch circuit is in a transparent state. Third clocked stacked inverter INV6, controlled by second clock signal circuit CLK2 and powered by VDD, is non-conductive. The signal at common node N5 represents the data stored in the slave latch circuit and is assumed to be low. At this point, the slave latch circuit, consisting of sixth clocked stacked inverter INV10, controlled by second clock signal circuit CLK2 and powered by VDD, and fifth stacked inverter INV11, also powered by VDD, and the backup redundant latch structure, consisting of fourth stacked inverter INV7, powered by VDDC, and fourth and fifth clocked stacked inverters INV8 and INV9, powered by VDDC and controlled by first clock signal circuit CLK1, are in a latched state. The signals at common nodes S1 and S2 are high. If power supply VDD is affected by transient dose rate radiation and is pulled low, the signal at common node S2 is also pulled low. The fifth clock-controlled stacked inverter INV9, whose power supply is VDDC and is controlled by the first clock signal circuit CLK1, is not conductive, ensuring that the common node S1 signal is not affected by the disturbance of the common node N5 signal. The common node S1 still maintains the correct high-level signal. The backup redundant latch structure composed of the fourth stacked inverter INV7, whose power supply is VDDC, and the fourth clock-controlled stacked inverter INV8 and the fifth clock-controlled stacked inverter INV9, whose power supply is VDDC and are controlled by the first clock signal circuit CLK1, outputs a signal to the common node N5 that is still at a low level.

[0116] When connecting the power supply VDDC in the layout, it should be designed to be connected at the shortest distance. At the same time, the width of the metal line should meet the widest value of the process design rules to reduce the voltage collapse effect of the power supply voltage after being irradiated by the instantaneous dose rate.

[0117] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention have the ability to resist instantaneous dose rate radiation.
