摘要: The results of a physical experiment and extensive simulation runs are presented for the first time demonstrating significant effects geometry air absorption on accelerated alpha particle soft error rate tests. These show that must be properly accounted even when source is in close proximity to device avoid substantial underestimation product failure rates terrestrial environment.
