  • Abstract
    Recently the importance of cosmic ray neutron-induced soft errors has been recognized. We propose a simple model to estimate the neutron-induced soft error rates (SER´s), which is a modified version of the burst generation rate (BGR) model. Our model can be used to easily and quickly estimate neutron-induced soft error rates and provides a useful guideline for device and circuit engineers to estimate neutron-induced soft errors (SE´s),.
