利用中国散裂中子源大气中子辐照谱仪, 对某款16 nm FinFET工艺制造的近存计算架构人工智能AI芯片进行了大气中子单粒子效应辐照测试研究. 辐照测试中, 在累积中子注量为1.51×1010 n/cm2 (1 MeV以上)情况下, 共探测到5类共计35个软错误, 尤其是探测到不同于传统冯诺伊曼架构芯片单粒子效应的计算与存储单元同时发生单粒子效应新现象. 基于所探测到的两类功能单元同时单粒子效应新现象, 结合蒙特卡罗仿真模拟, 初步给出了近存计算架构AI芯片内物理布局上, 核心功能单元间可降低同时发生单粒子效应的安全间距建议. 该研究为进一步探究非传统冯诺伊曼架构芯片单粒子效应提供了参考与借鉴.For the near-memory computing architecture AI chip manufactured by using 16 nm FinFET technology, atmospheric neutron single event effect irradiation tests are conducted for the first time in China by using the atmospheric neutron irradiation spectrometer (ANIS) at the China Spallation Neutron Source. During the irradiation, the YOLOV5 algorithm neural network running on the AI chip is used for real-time detection of target objects, including mice, keyboard, and luggage. The purpose of the test is to investigate the new single event effect that may occur on near-memory computing architecture AI chip. Finally, at an accumulated neutron fluence of 1.51×1010 n·cm–2 (above 1 MeV), a total of 35 soft errors are detected in 5 categories. Particularly noteworthy is the observation of a new finding, where both computing and memory units experience single event effects simultaneously, which is different from the traditional von Neumann architecture chips. Based on the single event effects that occur simultaneously in these two units, combined with Monte Carlo simulation, a preliminary estimation is made of the physical layout distance between the computing unit and the memory unit on the chip. Furthermore, suggestions are proposed to simultaneously reduce the risk of single event effect in multi cells. This study provides valuable reference and insights for further exploring the single event effects in non-traditional von Neumann architecture chips.
