Abstract
Silicon-on-insulator latch designs and layouts that are robust to multiple-node charge collection are introduced. A general Monte Carlo radiative energy deposition (MRED) approach is used to identify potential single-event susceptibilities associated with different layouts prior to fabrication. MRED is also applied to bound single-event testing responses of standard and dual interlocked cell latch designs. Heavy ion single-event testing results validate new latch designs and demonstrate bounds for standard latch layouts.
