Abstract :
Single Event Transient (SET) current is one of the most interesting issues for understanding and predicting Single Event Effects (SEEs) in real space environments. Since space radiation consists of high energy heavy ions, estimation of the energy dependence of SET currents is required. In order to estimate this effect, we have developed the Transient Ion Beam Induced Current (TIBIC) system combined with collimated high energy ion beams accelerated by AVF Cyclotron. We have demonstrated the function of TIBIC developed here. Using the newly developed TIBIC system and the Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) simulator, the influence of ion energy on SET currents is estimated
