  • Abstract
    Heavy-ion experiments on spatially isolated inverters and densely populated inverters demonstrate the effects of transistor density on single-event (SE) transients in bulk CMOS. Increased transistor density reduces SE cross section dramatically while having little impact on transient pulse width.
