Project Power Point
A radiation-hardened Optically reconfigurable gate array (ORGA) consisting of a holographic memory, a laser array, and a standard CMOS process programmable gate array VLSI
has already been developed. The optoelectronic ORGA provides soft-error tolerance and can withstand an over 1 Grad total-ionizing-dose. However, the degradation of the
optoelectronic ORGA is not small and cannot be neglected. Propagation delay and power consumption increase along with increasing total-ionizing-dose. This research presents
the degradation measurement results of an optoelectronic radiation-hardened ORGA and a method to improve its performance.
Repairable VLSI includes a fine-grained programmable gate array consisting of logic The propagation delay of all look-up tables must be measured again to achieve the best
blocks and switching matrices as well as ORGA. circuit implementation.
The damaged gate array can be used continuously by avoiding the damaged regions
and by choosing non-damaged regions.
Current ORGAs use a serial configuration architecture and the configuration circuit The performance of a circuit can be improved by reassigning critical paths
