3 SkyFlash: Why? ESA is demanding for ITAR-Free silicon process to be used for space applications (ASICs); CMOS process is becoming a choice for rad-hard ASICs if combined with RHBD (Rad Hard By Design) techniques; Old antifuse based NVMs (Non Volatile Memories) are not fabricated any more (dismission of production lines); Floating gate/trap are becoming a choice for space apps in particular if compared with Advanced NVMs (FeRAMs, MRAMs, PCMs); Space applications are asking for increased storage capability (on board systems with enhanced boot software, mass storage units for GMES satellites, etc ). A mature standard CMOS process using Flash-based memory cells combined with RHBD techniques may represent an answer to space community needs concerning NVMs SkyFlash Project ASI Worshop FP7 Space Foundations 3

4 ESA efforts against NVMs (1/2) This Tender aims at evaluating COTS flash memories for a possible introduction in low-dose applications with enhanced ECC/EDAC SkyFlash Project ASI Worshop FP7 Space Foundations 4

5 ESA efforts against NVMs (2/2) This Tender asks for an assessment on DRAM and new proceess/materials (ferroelectric, magnetic, chalcogenide) for a possible use in mass storage units SkyFlash Project ASI Worshop FP7 Space Foundations 5

6 SkyFlash main targets The main target of SkyFlash Project is to define a Rad-Hard By Design (RHBD) CMOS roadmap for NVMs development in order to enable space community to have a reference on how to use a standard CMOS process for space apps. (Scientific) The secondary target is to obtain a prototype (e.g. 1Mbit Rad-Hard Flash Memory) in order to validate the overall approach. (Implementation) The third target is to share this knowledge with space community (ESA). (Exploitation) SkyFlash Project ASI Worshop FP7 Space Foundations 6
