Abstract:
A typical static random access memory (SRAM) is chosen for the single event effect testing with the 100 MeV proton cyclotron in China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). The cross section for the single event upset under proton irradiation is measured, and the in-orbit soft error rate (SER) of the device used for typical satellite orbits is calculated by the Space Radiation 7.0 software. The influence of the orbit altitude, the orbit angle and the shielding condition on the in-orbit soft error rate is analyzed. It is shown that the SER single event effect (SEE) induced by proton is higher than that induced by heavy ions in the geosynchronous orbit. The SER induced by the proton SEE is up to three orders of magnitude higher than that induced by the heavy ion SEE
