摘要
The impact of high-Z metals on energy deposition in thin volumes due to direct ionization by ions in space environments is examined. The importance of energy loss straggling in small volumes typical of those found in advanced devices is also evaluated. It is found that direct ionization by protons over a large energy range may contribute significantly to error rates in advanced silicon on insulator devices due to energy loss straggling. This improves on conventional event rate analysis based on linear energy transfer, which does not describe the contributions of direct ionization by protons to the error rate.
