Radiation effect characterization and test methods of single-chip and multi-chip stacked 16 Mbit DRAMs

This paper presents radiation effects characterization performed by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) on spaceflight candidate 16 Mbit DRAMs. This includes heavy ion, proton, and Co/sup 60/ irradiations on single-chip devices as well as proton irradiation of a stacked DRAM module. Lastly, a discussion of test methodology is undertaken.
