About the SEE Testing & Analysis category

Discussion of single-event effects testing, analysis methods, and rate prediction for space applications.

This category covers all aspects of SEE characterization and analysis, including:

  • Heavy-ion and proton test planning — facility selection, beam cocktails, test board design, DUT preparation, and run plan logistics
    • Cross-section fitting — Weibull parameterization, Edmonds alpha fits, fitting convergence issues, and data weighting approaches
      • Rate prediction methods — CREME96, CREME-MC, OMERE, SPACE RADIATION, RPP assumptions, and Monte Carlo transport
        • SEE mechanisms — SEU, SEL, SEFI, SET, SEB, SEGR, and proton direct ionization in advanced nodes
          • LET conventions — LET(Si) vs. LET(material) for non-silicon device technologies (GaN, SiC)
            • Test data sharing — published databases, data quality, and community data exchange
          • Whether you’re planning your first beam campaign or refining rate predictions for a CDR, this is the place to ask questions and share experience.
