Several papers pointed out the contributions to upsets from reactions in passivation and other layers above the active silicon layer. This chapter uses a spreadsheet calculation and a CREME96 calculation for calculating the upset rate of a device. The spreadsheet calculation folds together the upset rate as a function of linear energy transfer (LET), as calculated in CREME96 with the cross section as shown by the Weibull curves. The author plots the differential total rate and the differential rate due only to ionization. The reaction cross sections are basically geometrical for high energy particles, and the geometry is dominated by the large tungsten nucleus. Therefore, all light, high energy particles will have similar behavior and the plot of number of reactions versus LET of the test light, high energy particles will be representative of all of the light, high energy particles in the space environment.
