Scientific paper

Nuclear reaction modeling and experimental data on heavy ion cross section variations versus Linear Energy Transfer (LET) are used to determine device sensitivity to proton induced Single Event Effects (SEE). In order to verify the validity of the method, computations are performed for the Fairshild 93L422 and Intel 2164A memories for which heavy ion test data are available. The proton induced SEE cross sections obtained are compared with other theoretical results and with ground based experimental data. Upset rates measured onboard UOSAT 2 and experimental data on heavy ions cross sections, available for HM6564 and HM6516 memories are used in order to verify all the steps involved in the forecast of trapped proton induced SEE rate. The results obtained are in good agreement with the inflight observed rates.
