Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of nuclear reactions to heavy ion single event upset cross-section measurements in a high-density SEU hardened SRAM
Kevin M. Warren,Robert A. Weller,Marcus H. Mendenhall,Robert A. Reed,Dennis R. Ball,C.L. Howe,B.D. Olson,Michael L. Alles,Lloyd W. Massengill,Ronald D. Schrimpf,Nadim F. Haddad,S.E. Doyle,Dale McMorrow,Joseph S. Melinger,W.T. Lotshaw +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Geant4-based Monte-Carlo transport code was used to simulate heavy ion irradiation using a SEU hardened SRAM and the results showed that materials external to the sensitive volume can affect the experimentally measured cross-section curve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of heavy-ion nuclear reactions in determining on-orbit single event error rates
C.L. Howe,Robert A. Weller,Robert A. Reed,Marcus H. Mendenhall,Ronald D. Schrimpf,Kevin M. Warren,Dennis R. Ball,Lloyd W. Massengill,Ken LaBel,J.W. Howard,Nadim F. Haddad +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that neglecting ion-ion interaction processes (both particles having Z>1) results in an underestimation of the total on-orbit single event upset error rate by more than two orders of magnitude for certain technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulating Nuclear Events in a TCAD Model of a High-Density SEU Hardened SRAM Technology
Dennis R. Ball,Kevin M. Warren,Robert A. Weller,Robert A. Reed,A.S. Kobayashi,Jonathan A. Pellish,Marcus H. Mendenhall,C.L. Howe,Lloyd W. Massengill,Ronald D. Schrimpf,Nadim F. Haddad +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, nuclear reactions are integrated into the modeling of the SEU response of an SRAM cell using GEANT4-based simulations and the simulated transient response is compared to the response obtained using a typical heavy ion model that includes only direct ionization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Measured Dark Current Distributions With Calculated Damage Energy Distributions in HgCdTe
Cheryl J. Marshall,Paul W. Marshall,C.L. Howe,Robert A. Reed,Robert A. Weller,Marcus H. Mendenhall,Augustyn Waczynski,Raymond L. Ladbury,T.M. Jordan +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined Monte Carlo and analytic approach to the calculation of the pixel-to-pixel distribution of proton-induced damage in a HgCdTe sensor array and compares the results to measured dark current distributions after damage by 63 MeV protons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of Proton-Induced Transients in Silicon Focal Plane Arrays
C.L. Howe,Robert A. Weller,Robert A. Reed,Brian D. Sierawski,Paul W. Marshall,Cheryl J. Marshall,Marcus H. Mendenhall,Ronald D. Schrimpf,John E. Hubbs +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, Monte Carlo based simulations were used to analyze the effects of pile up (multiple hits on a single pixel during one integration time) and non-radiation-induced noise in the P-i-N focal plane array.
