2 Purpose To perform SER analyses and compare with the scaling trend To investigate the impact of secondary ions on soft errors To clarify the incident energy range in which terrestrial neutrons have significant influence on soft errors Abstract We have analyzed terrestrial neutron-induced soft errors in MOSFETs from a 65 nm to a 25 nm design rule by means of multi-scale Monte Carlo simulation using PHITS-HyENEXSS code system. The resulting scaling trend of SERs per bit is still decreasing similar to other predictions. From this analysis, it is clarified that secondary He and H ions provide a major impact on soft errors with decreasing critical charge. It is also found that terrestrial neutrons with energies up to several hundreds of MeV have a significant contribution to soft errors regardless of design rule and critical charge. 2/2

20 Conclusion The results show that the scaling trend of SERs per bit is still decreasing similar to the other predictions. He ions have a major cause of soft errors, and H ions impact soft errors considerably if the critical charge is further reduced. About 8% of terrestrial neutron-induced soft errors can be caused by neutrons up to 4 MeV. Accurate estimation of production of H and He ions in the neutron energy range up to several hundreds of MeV plays a key role in terrestrial neutron-induced soft error simulation.
