Sensitive Volume Allocation Aligned With a Physics-Based Analytical Cross Section Model for Monte Carlo-Based Proton-Induced SEU Simulation
Abstract
This paper proposes a method for constructing physically reasonable multiple sensitive volumes and predicting upset cross sections in particle transport Monte Carlo simulations. The validity of method is discussed with the proton-induced single event upsets on several SRAMs. All simulated cross sections for proton energies from 0.7 to 230 MeV, except for a few data points, agreed with the experimental data within a factor of 0.3 to 3.
