摘要： Apparatus and method for testing the susceptibility of an integrated circuit (10) to single event upsets caused by high energy heavy ions, such as are found in cosmic rays. The integrated circuit is mounted in a three axes manipulator (20) by which it is positioned at a desired target point. A light pulse generated by source (32) is filtered and collimated by spatial filter (34), and is focused as a spot on the integrated circuit by optics (60). Preferably, the diameter of the focused spot is 5 microns or less and its wavelength is in the range of 850-1100 nanometers. The susceptibility of any point on the integrated circuit is determined by operating the circuit and monitoring it for errors after it is subjected to the focused light pulse. Timing of the light pulse may also be controlled with respect to integrated circuit operation, to determine susceptibility as a function of time.

摘要： Methods and systems for discriminating among sparking modes are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving light from a spark into a spectrometer, generating a light intensity spectrum using the spectrometer, and classifying the sparking mode based on an analysis of the light intensity spectrum. The light intensity spectrum may be analyzed for the presence of an atomic emission and a broad blackbody emission. In further embodiments, light emitted by the spark may be received into a photodetector, and the classification of the sparking mode may be based on an analysis of an intensity profile, including at least one of a rise-time phase, a peak intensity, and a drop-off phase.

摘要： A film deposition system is provided for depositing a film of at least first and second materials onto a common target. This system includes a housing within which the common target is located and within which a high vacuum region may be formed. The system further includes first and second crucibles each containing respective first and second materials to be deposited; a heating element and/or cooling element for vaporizing the materials in each of the first and second crucibles, respectively; first and second nozzles for ejecting the vaporized material from the first and second crucibles into the high vacuum region to form non-ionized atomic clusters by adiabatic expansion with those clusters traveling in first and second directions, respectively, each of which are non-coincident with the common target; first and second electron strippers for converting a portion of those non-ionized clusters to ionize clusters of the first and second materials; first and second accelerators for accelerating the ionized clusters of the first and second materials; and first and second deflectors for deflecting the ionized clusters of first and second materials to third and fourth directions, respectively, each of which are coincident with the common target. By varying the percentage of non-ionized atomic clusters converted to ionized clusters, the rate of flow of the ionized clusters deposited upon the common material may be effectively instantaneously controlled to thereby deposit a film having a continuous and smoothly varying property.
