Laser Fault Injection Microsystem for IC Chip Testing

Laser Fault Injection Microsystem for IC Chip Testing

Integrated circuits in aerospace applications are affected by the space radiation environment, facing the risk of failure. One of the main faults occurs when a single high-energy particle passes through sensitive nodes in the chip, generating ionized charge, leading to data flips, functional failures, current surges, or even destruction of the chip. The fault injection … Read more
