Windsock - Re: 'The soft error correction was the subject of an Intel patent by Raphael Klein and Tim May (added later in correction of an error). '

I can see why Tim's name was added "later" !!

Windsock,

The patent discusses a clever way of reducing the probability of errors being caused by alpha particles which have been absorbed in the bulk of the substrate as distinct from the surface layer where the transistors live.

ECC or error detection may still be needed to deal with those (much less frequent) ionisation events which occur in the surface layers.
