  • Abstract
    TCAD simulations are performed to examine the effects of scaling, well and substrate contact spacing, and supply voltage ( Vdd) on the vulnerability of devices to single-event latchup in bulk CMOS from 65-nm to 250-nm technologies. The effects of substrate depth are also shown to play a role in the sensitivity.
