Abstract :
This paper reviews recent experimental confirmations that the intrinsic radiation robustness of commercial CMOS technologies naturally improves with the down-scaling. When additionally using innovative design techniques, it becomes now possible to assure that performance and radiation-hardness are both met. An illustration is given with an original nano-power and radiation-hardened 8 Mb SRAM designed in 130 nm CMOS.
