Patent number: 11789168Abstract: A diode and a transistor are connected in parallel. The transistor is located on a first doped region forming a PN junction of the diode with a second doped region located under the first region. The circuit functions as an ionizing radiation detection cell by generating a current through the PN junction which changes by a voltage generated across the transistor. This change in voltage is compared to a threshold to detect the ionizing radiation.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: STMicroelectronics (Crolles 2) SASInventors: Gilles Gasiot, Fady Abouzeid

Patent number: 10948611Abstract: Absorbed ionizing particles differentially effect first and second acquiring circuit stages configured to respectively generate first and second acquisition signals. Each acquisition signal has a characteristic that is variable as a function of an amount of absorbed ionizing particles. A measuring circuit generates, on the basis of the first and second acquisition signals, a relative parameter indicative of a relationship between the variable characteristics. A computation of a total ionizing dose is made using a 1st- or 2nd-degree polynomial relationship in the relative parameter.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2018Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignees: STMicroelectronics (Crolles 2) SAS, Centre National De La Recherche ScientifiqueInventors: Martin Cochet, Dimitri Soussan, Fady Abouzeid, Gilles Gasiot, Philippe Roche

Patent number: 10684326Abstract: A chain of flip-flops is tested by passing a reference signal through the chain. The reference signal is generated from a test pattern that is cyclically fed back at the cadence of a clock signal. The reference signal propagates through the chain of flip-flops at the cadence of the clock signal to output a test signal. A comparison is carried out at the cadence of the clock signal of the test signal and the reference signal, where the reference signal is delayed by a delay time taking into account the number of flip-flops in the chain and the length of the test pattern. An output signal is produced, at the cadence of the clock signal, as a result of the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: STMicroelectronics (Crolles 2) SASInventors: Sylvain Clerc, Gilles Gasiot
