Approximate Computing (AxC) is a well-known paradigm able to reduce the computational and power overheads of a multitude of applications, at the cost of a decreased accuracy. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have proven to be particularly suited for AxC because of their inherent resilience to errors. However, the implementation of AxC techniques may affect the intrinsic resilience of the application to errors induced by Single Events in a harsh environment. This work introduces an experimental study of the impact of neutron irradiation on approximate computing techniques applied on the data representation of a CNN.

Emulating the Effects of Radiation-Induced Soft-Errors for the Reliability Assessment of Neural Networks

Matanaluza, Lucas; Ruospo, Annachiara; Söderström, Daniel; Cazzaniga, Carlo; Kastriotou, Maria; Sanchez, Ernesto; Bosio, Alberto; Dilillo, Luigi (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are currently one of the most widely used predictive models in machine learning. Recent studies have demonstrated that hardware faults induced by radiation fields, including cosmic rays, ...
Effect of 20 MeV Electron Radiation on Long Term Reliability of SiC Power MOSFETs

Niskanen, Kimmo; Kettunen, Heikki; Lahti, Mikko; Rossi, Mikko; Jaatinen, Jukka; Söderström, Daniel; Javanainen, Arto (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023)

The effect of 20 MeV electron radiation on the lifetime of the silicon carbide power MOSFETs was investigated. Accelerated constant voltage stress (CVS) was applied on the pristine and irradiated devices and time-to-breakdown ...
Impact of Terrestrial Neutrons on the Reliability of SiC VD-MOSFET Technologies

Martinella, Corinna; Alia, R. G.; Stark, R.; Coronetti, Andrea; Cazzaniga, C.; Kastriotou, M.; Kadi, Y.; Gaillard, R.; Grossner, U.; Javanainen, Arto (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)

Accelerated terrestrial neutron irradiations were performed on different commercial SiC power MOSFETs with planar, trench and double-trench architectures. The results were used to calculate the failure cross-sections and ...
Radiation hardness assurance through system-level testing : risk acceptance, facility requirements, test methodology and data exploitation

Coronetti, Andrea; Garcìa Alìa, Rubén; Budroweit, Jan; Rajkowski, Tomasz; Da Costa Lopes, Israel; Niskanen, Kimmo; Söderström, Daniel; Cazzaniga, Carlo; Ferraro, Rudy; Danzeca, Salvatore; Mekki, Julien; Manni, Florent; Dangla, David; Virmontois, Cedric; Kerboub, Nourdine; Koelpin, Alexander; Saigné, Frederic; Wang, Pierre; Pouget, Vincent; Touboul, Antoine; Javanainen, Arto; Kettunen, Heikki; Coq Germanicus, Rosine (IEEE, 2021)

Functional verification schemes at a level different than component-level testing are emerging as a cost-effective tool for those space systems for which the risk associated with a lower level of assurance can be accepted. ...
Investigate the radiation response of Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors : impact of X-ray irradiation on DC and Low Frequency Noise characteristics

Ayenew, Adebabay Belie (2023)

SiGe HBTs have emerged to meet the burgeoning demand of wireless communication and high-speed niche applications at a compelling cost advantage. The high integration capability of SiGe technology with CMOS provides a ...
