COSMIC RAY EFFECTS ON MICROELECTRONICS (CREME96)

Description:

CREME is a group of four programs (SPEC, LET, BENDEL, and UPSET) used to model cosmic rays and flares. SPEC produces integral and differential energy spectra for a single element, while LET produces integral and differential Linear Energy Transfer (LET) spectra for a range of elements. BENDEL and UPSET are used to calculate the upset rate of a microelectronic device. BENDEL and UPSET are not recommended for calculating upset rates as they have been replaced by more state of the art techniques.

Additional Information:

Language: FORTRAN

Operating System: Windows95 and Windows NT

Hardware Requirements: At least 7 MB

Availability: CREME96 Website

Input Description: Orbital parameters, environment, year, energy range

Output Format: Graphic and tabular output of upset rates, energy spectra, LET spectra

Verification/ Validation: Validation plans are to compare spectral calculations with spectral data, calculate results from code and compare with empirical data on CRESS, TORSS, LSEAT, review by expert collaborators
