Description

Microcontroller total dose irradiation failure unit experiment judgment system and method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic device irradiation effect research, and particularly relates to a microcontroller total dose irradiation failure unit experiment judgment system and method.
Background
When the semiconductor electronic device is applied to an ionizing radiation environment, electron-hole pairs generated by ionizing radiation energy deposition in the semiconductor electronic device can generate a series of physical processes such as compounding, transporting and capturing, and finally generate 3 different irradiation effects such as a single event effect, a transient dose rate effect, a total dose effect and the like; among them, the total dose effect of a Microcontroller (MCU) is one of the main concerns in the field of nuclear power and nuclear technology. As a programmable large-scale integrated chip, the microcontroller has rich functions and a complex internal structure, and the change of the electrical parameters of the internal structure is difficult to be reflected completely through limited external pins when the microcontroller is irradiated by radiation; therefore, a function verification method is usually required to be used for carrying out a total dose effect experiment of the microcontroller so as to research the radiation resistance and the radiation failure mode of the microcontroller, and a basis is provided for radiation hardening resistance and failure management in practical application of the microcontroller.
The basic idea of the function verification method is that the tested micro-controller continuously runs a pre-loading program with a specific function in the irradiation experiment process, and the irradiation damage of the tested sample is judged by detecting whether the pre-loading program runs normally in real time. The results of the current experimental study show that: with the increase of the total dose of the irradiated light, the phenomena of power consumption current increase, internal memory dislocation and the like (at the moment, the function of the preloading program still normally operates) can occur after the microcontroller reaches a certain threshold dose until the function fails and the test system can not acquire the running state of the preloading program any more; however, the functional failure of the microcontroller is usually a sudden change process, and the functional verification method can only judge whether the microcontroller fails macroscopically, and cannot acquire more detailed information to distinguish the internal functional unit causing the failure.
