A new sembempirical model for proton induced SEU is presented. For estimating the energy deposited by the protons in the sensitive volumes of the devices the model uses the measured spectra of surface barrier detectors (SBD) with the same thicknessts of the sensitive volume and at the same proton energies;. Fitting the SBD spectra by exponential functions and the heavy ion induced cross sections by simple formulas results; in simple expressions for the proton cross sections. The model predictions are in good agreement with the experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
