Optimizing Optical Parameters to Facilitate Correlation of Laser- and Heavy-Ion-Induced Single-Event Transients in SiGe HBTs

An approach for determining the optimal laser parameters (i.e., pulse energy, focused spot size, wavelength, and pulse duration) for correlating single-event transients induced via two-photon absorption (TPA) and heavy ions is presented. The approach focuses on identification and extraction of waveform characteristics, or “features,” and minimizing the error between features produced by TPA and io...
