Abstract

In this work, the first successful SEE measurements with heavy ions in Brazil is reported. The heavy ions were produced at the São Paulo 8 UD Pelletron accelerator. ¹²C, ¹⁶O, ¹⁹F, ²⁸Si, ³⁵Cl, ⁶³Cu and ¹⁰⁷Ag heavy ion beams were used to test a commercial off-the-shelf transistor. During irradiation, the response of a pMOS transistor was continuously monitored to measure the SEE events. In order to achieve a uniform low intensity beam the heavy ions were Rutherford scattered at 15⁰ by a 275 μg/cm² gold foil.
