Investigation on the effect of muons on various types of commercial memories

Abstract: Recent memory technologies are becoming more and more sensitive to radiation because of device miniaturisation. Models show that even atmospheric muons are now susceptible to induce data corruption in memories; however, their effect remains largely unexplored and only few experimental studies have been carried out to this day. My reasearch group proposes to use the muon beams available at ISIS to evaluate the behaviour of static RAMs (SRAMs) of different technology nodes, as well as that of FRAM, MRAM and Flash memories under muon irradiation. The results from this study would complement the results obtained with other particle species, and in particular atmospheric-like neutrons with the Vesuvio instrument, on similar devices.
