Abstract
Single-event upset effects from heavy ions are measured for Motorola and IBM silicon-on-insulator (SOI) microprocessors with different feature sizes and core voltages. Multiple-bit upsets in registers and D-cache were measured and compared with single-bit upsets. Also, the scaling of the cross section with reduction of feature size for SOI microprocessors is discussed.
