Various single-event upset (SEU) conditions are studied by three-dimensional device simulation with the purpose of going deeply into the understanding of the mechanisms governing the SEU sensitivity for a large variety of tracks. The results give a better view of what regions are sensitive. They clearly point out that some generally accepted notions must be revised as considering the normal incidence case to be the most sensitive or neglecting PMOS contribution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
