  • Abstract
    Heavy ion experiments on 65 nm bulk CMOS inverter chains demonstrate the impact of circuit placement on single-event transients (SETs). Experimental data and simulations show that the horizontal placement design significantly reduces the SET pulse width and SET cross-section compared to the vertical placement design due to the existence of pulse quenching.
