  • Abstract
    Upset results for backside irradiated PowerPC750s (thin epi) and SDRAMs (deep charge collection from diffusion) illustrate the validity of single event test data when irradiating through a layer of silicon substrate. However, heavy-ion LET assignments require accurate material and thickness determination. Taking irradiating through materials further, the Texas A&M cyclotron uses adjustable degraders to offer a continuous range of heavy ion LETs as well as an optional in-air test fixture.
