  • Abstract
    It is proposed to use short-range ions (along with long-range ions) to obtain the thickness of the sensitive volume, d, and the SEU and SEL cross sections vs the energy deposited in this volume, σ ion(ε). These σion(ε) and d can be used for calculating the proton induced cross sections σp . A study of Harris HM65162 CMOS SRAMs demonstrates this method. The calculated σp is in good agreement with the experimental σp
