SEU sensitivity of bulk and SOI technologies to 14-MeV neutrons

This work investigates the effects of 14-MeV neutron irradiation on bulk and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technologies. Experimental results are reported with a study on the influence of the irradiation angle. These experiments are interpreted with a nuclear interaction code (MCNP: Monte Carlo N-Particle). The device architecture and the involved materials are shown to be determining parameters with respect to the device sensitivity.
