Investigation of Single Events Upsets in Silicon and GaAs Structures Using Reaction Calculations

Abstract

Two procedures were developed to obtain the dimensions of the sensitive volume: one using charge collection measurements and the other proton Seu cross sections measured at different energies and angles of incidence. The CUPID simulation codes play an important role. They have been made user friendly and received adequate documentation. The methodology has been extended to single event latch-up and displacement damage.
