Palestra com Raoul Velazco do INPG – França

No dia 11 de maio, segunda-feira, às 15h30min, acontecerá a palestra intitulada “Effects of Radiation on Integrated Circuits: Origines, Mitigation Techniques and Real-life Experiments”, ministrada por Raoul Velezco do INPG – Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble. O evento será no Auditório do prédio 67, e faz parte dos Seminários da disciplina MIC06-Seminários em Micro e Nanoeletrônica.

O Seminário é aberto a todos os interessados e não apenas aos alunos matriculados na disciplina.

Palestrante: Raoul Velazco (TIMA, INPG, Grenoble, França)

Título: Effects of Radiation on Integrated Circuits: Origines, Mitigation Techniques and Real-life Experiments

Resumo:

With the advances in integrated circuits manufacturing technologies make circuits more sensitive to the effects of radiation present in the environment where they will operate. This problem, in the past considered only for aerospace applications, must be taken into account for any application which errors may have critical consequence, even for those operating at ground level. In this presentation will be given details about the origines of radiation effects, theirs consequences. State-of-the-art mitigation effects will be described as well as main techniques to evaluate their efficiency. To conclude will be described  experiments performed in the Earth atmoshpere to provide an objective feedback about these conjecture.

Short Bio:

Raoul VELAZCO was born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1952. Living in France since 1976, he got there the PhD and the Doctor ès Sciences in Computer Sciences in 1982 and 1990 respectively, both from INPG (Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble). With the CNRS (French Research Agency) since 1984, where he is Director of Researches, he is presently a co-leader of the ARIS (Architectures Robustes de circuits et Systèmes Intégrés) research group at TIMA (Techniques de l’Informatique et de la Microélectronique pour l’Architecture de systèmes intégrés) laboratory (Grenoble). His research activities focus with the study of radiation effects on microelectronic circuits, the design hardening techniques and the development and exploitation of experiments devoted to operate on board satellites . Is author or co-author of more than 220 scientific publications, 46 among them at IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Sciences (IEEE TNS) and of a patent, which was transferred to the industry, about a new memory cell (the so-called HIT cells) robust with respect to the transient effects of radiation. He has been the chairman of conferences and workshops internationally recognized in the domain of the effect or radiation in microelectronic circuits. Among the most representatives can be mentioned RADECS (Radiations and its Effects on Circuits and Systems) held in Grenoble in September 2001, DFTS (International Symposium on Defect and Fault Tolerance of Systems), held in Cannes, October 2003 and SEE (Single Event Effects Symposium) held in San Diego (USA) in April 2009.

The researches of Dr. Velazco resulted in two patents which were transferred to the industry. He has also co-founded two start-ups: IROC (Integrating Robustness on Chips) in 1999 and PULSCAN (Optical and Electronic Solutions for testing and Failure Analysis) in 2008. He is co-founder and co- Program Chair of SERESSA (international School of Effects if Radiations on Embedded Systems for Space Applications), first edition held in Manaos (Brazil) in November 2005. The 11th edition of SERESSA will be held December 2015 in Puebla (Mexico).
