    Abstract

    Area efficient self-correcting flip-flops for use with triple modular redundant (TMR) soft-error hardened logic are implemented in a 12-nm finFET process technology using Muller C-elements in the latch feedback. These flip-flops are implemented as large shift-register arrays on a test chip and have been experimentally tested for their soft-error mitigation in static and dynamic modes of operation using heavy ions and protons. We show how high clock skew can result in susceptibility to soft-errors in the dynamic mode, and explain the failure mechanism.
