English abstract:
Direct on-chip pulse shape measurements of singleevent
transients (SETs) in a single inverter in 90-nm bulk CMOS
have been performed at the microbeamfacility at the Physikalisch-
Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Braunschweig, Germany. Alpha
particles with an energy of 8MeV were used as projectiles, and the
supply voltage dependence of the arising SETs was investigated.
A strong dependence of the resulting pulse heights, widths, and
shapes on the supply voltage could be observed.
