“…Each unique geometry presented has the same value despite having unique ( ) distributions. In each case, the ( ) distribution was weighted by to produce ( ), as described in (7). It is these differences in the ( ) distributions, as well as the weighting found in the ( ) distributions, that lead to the significant differences in the values despite each geometry having the same value.…”

“…Starting with the code-produced frequency distribution ( ), the frequency mean chord length was calculated according to (6), the dose distribution ( ) was produced according to (7), and the dose mean chord length was calculated according to (8). This work is limited in scope to the rectangular parallelepiped (RPP) but the method is applicable to all convex bodies.…”

“…Attention is often given to the influence of geometric factors on SEE rates. While several recent studies have considered the incident angle of the beam in radiation hardness testing [4][5][6][7], many apparently do not [8,9] and this is a crucial factor when analyzing upsets as a function of energy delivered. It is recognized that some radiation hardness testing has been focused on the influence of beam energy, linear energy transfer (LET), and other nongeometry factors or has had geometry factors as a secondary area of study.…”

Chord length distributions for rectangular parallelepipeds of various relative dimensions were studied in relation to radiation hardness testing. For each geometry, a differential chord length distribution was generated using a Monte Carlo method to simulate exposure to an isotropic radiation source. The frequency and dose distributions of chord length crossings for each geometry, as well as the means of these distributions, are presented. In every case, the dose mean chord length was greater than the frequency mean chord length with a 34.5% increase found for the least extreme case of a cube. This large increase of the dose mean chord length relative to the frequency mean chord length demonstrates the need to consider rare, long-chord-length crossings in radiation hardness testing of electronic components.

“…Studies [121]- [123] suggest that 10 B atoms from the B 2 H 6 gas used for W-plug formation remain inside final products and cause SEUs through a fission process, in which a 10 B nucleus absorbs a low-energy (thermal) neutron and breaks into two charged particles, i.e., 4 He-and 7 Li-nuclei [124]. Note that similar nuclear reactions can be induced by heavy ions with energy sufficiently high to overcome the Coulomb barrier [118], [125], [126]. charge is small but no longer negligible in sub-100-nm SRAMs dating from the 21st century onward.…”

“…Therefore, this work is dedicated to investigate the differences among high energy proton and heavy ion beams, the latter from standard energies to Ultra-High Energy (UHE) in terms of nuclear fragmentation and their impact on the SEE cross section. Simulations and models to estimate the effects of the GCR environment on the SEE rate, are gaining more attention and relevance, as pointed out in previous work, such as by Pellish et al [5]. Hence, this study is focused on MC FLUKA [6] simulations and comparing them to measurements carried out in test facilities representative of the GCR environment.…”
