  • Integrated circuits with immunity to single event effects
    Patent number: 6483134
    Abstract: The present invention is an electronic structure having a buffer layer with a short average carrier lifetime, at least about 1000 Å thick with an upper face, and an integrated circuit disposed over the upper face of the buffer layer, where this integrated circuit would otherwise be susceptible to soft errors, due to its configuration, its clock speed, its use environment, or a combination of these factors. In a preferred embodiment, the preferably high recombination rate buffer layer is an LT GaAs or GaAs:Er buffer layer.
