  • Abstract
    Measurements of temperature effects on SEU rates have been made on NMOS/resistive-load static RAMs using energetic protons and alphas. Results have indicated that SEU cross sections increase with increasing temperature for these parts. Proton and alpha induced nuclear reactions allow upsets to occur below measured LET thresholds.
