Irradiation experiments of positive and negative muon were conducted for 65-nm bulk CMOS static random-access memory. The experimental results reveal that parasitic bipolar action (PBA) contributes to muon-induced upsets. We observe an increase in single event upset (SEU) cross section at higher operation voltage under irradiation while shows opposite decreasing tendency. Also, the proportion multiple-cell (MCU) events all is up 66, more than a 20-bit MCU observed. Furthermore, Monte Carlo...
