QL3025/EPI Heavy Ion Test

Brookhaven National Labs

April, 1999

 

An experimental lot of QL3025's were fabricated, using an epitaxial layer of approximately 6.4 microns.  Latchup tests were conducted at Brookhaven National Lab, using titanium at normal incidence, for an LET = 18.7 MeV-cm2/mg.  Six devices were tested in total; three from each of two wafers.  Nominal voltages for this part are VCCIO = 5.0VDC (input bias) and VCC = 3.3VDC (majority of the part).  Low voltage operation was also tested, attempting to find a latchup-free operating area.  The results and current strip charts are shown in the table below.  Because of the low LET latchup, cross-section information and latchup threshold was not measured.
