A rapid, pulsed laser testing approach for single event latch-up screening in microelectronics
A pulsed laser testing system for rapid screening of single-event latch-up (SEL) in microelectronics with real-time visualization of sensitive nodes via photo-emission is presented. We provide a detailed overview of the system, followed by SEL threshold measurements in an analog-to-digital converter (AD9240). We find that SEL thresholds are comparable to measurements taken with a low-repetition rate, fixed beam system, and demonstrate full-die scanning speeds can be an order of magnitude faster
