چکیده
Since the first days of the space conquest, electronic components have changed remarkably. In the seventies, Single Event Effects (SEE), caused by heavy ions and protons, were unknown. The increase in integration density led first to Single Event Upsets and later, with the CMOS technology, Single Event Latchups etc... The end of the cold war crashed the military market and, since that, the growing acceptance of Commercial OffThe-Shelf (COTS) components in space systems has encouraged the major manufacturers to withdraw from the RadHard component production. Therefore, one had to start testing of the SEE durability of COTS components with particle accelerators.

Experimental Heavy-ion Seu Cross-sections of Sram Memory Components
A series of experiments were carried out at the Radiation Effects Facility (RADEF) [1] in the Accelerator laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä. Experiments consisted in irradiating the memory arrays in vacuum with a variety of heavy ions. The effect of Linear Energy Transfer (LET) of incoming ion and component operating mode (static/active) [2] on the component failure mode (SEU/MBU/SEFI) ...
