Proton vs. Heavy-Ion SEL

What paired test data say about proton screening, case studies from the combined test corpus

Scope: Every part below is drawn from published sources (IEEE REDW and RADECS workshop and journal records, NASA GSFC test reports). Records were re-extracted from the source documents and, where per-run data existed, refit with a Poisson-Weibull; heavy-ion onset is the uniform LET@10⁻⁸ crossing where a fit exists, else the author-stated threshold. Numbers are quoted as reported; consult the source before relying on any of them for a design decision. Companion tool: Proton Proxy Risk Tool · methodology.

1. The Picture in One Paragraph

Of 95 parts in the corpus with both heavy-ion and proton SEL data, protons found latchup in 20 of the 37 heavy-ion-susceptible parts with a known onset. The ones they found have a median onset of 3.0 MeV·cm²/mg (16 of 20 below LET 10); no part with an onset above 20 has ever produced a proton latchup in this corpus. The ones they missed span the full range, and among the 30 parts with an adequate null proton test (≥ 50 MeV, ≥ 10¹⁰ p/cm²), 7 (23%, 90% interval 13–38%) were heavy-ion susceptible below LET 37 and 5 (17%) below LET 15. A proton null is evidence, not a threshold: it discounts low-onset, large-cross-section, shallow-volume behaviors and says nothing about the rest. The cases below show each of the mechanisms behind that sentence.

Heavy-ion onset bin (LET@10⁻⁸)Proton SEL observedAdequate proton nullDetection fraction
0–514382% [64–93%]
5–1012 (+2 weaker nulls)33% [6–76%]
10–2052 (+2 weaker nulls)71% [41–91%]
20–4000 (+4 weaker nulls)no events
≥ 4000 (+2 weaker nulls)no events
Cross-section ratio: where both cross sections were measured (n=5), σp(≥ 100 MeV)/σHI has a median of 10-7.09 and spans 10-10.37–10-6.05, one to two decades below the 1-in-289,000 (10-5.5) recoil-count ceiling of Ladbury & Lauenstein, because most recoils that do occur deposit less than the part's onset.

2. Case Studies

Each card pairs the heavy-ion characterization with the proton result, states what the Proton Proxy engine predicts from the heavy-ion curve alone, and draws the lesson. "SV" is the sensitive-volume depth the recoil must traverse; it is the single largest uncertainty in every proton-to-heavy-ion argument.

Onset LET@10⁻⁸:
1.2 MeV·cm²/mg (Weibull L₀ 1.2, W 35, s 2.2)
σsat:
1.5×10⁻³ cm²/device
Nature:
non-destructive, cleared by power cycle

Protons

30 MeV:
no SEL (upper limit only)
50 MeV:
SEL, σ = 4.1×10⁻¹² cm² (to 6×10¹² p/cm² ~1 Mrad)
100 MeV:
4.2×10⁻¹¹
200 MeV:
6.7×10⁻¹¹ cm²
0.15–12 MeV:
no SEL (direct-ionization LET ≤ 0.44)
What the Proton Proxy engine says: From the heavy-ion curve alone the recoil emulator predicts σp(50 MeV) = 1.8–12×10⁻¹² cm² for SV depths 10–2 µm, the measured 4.1×10⁻¹² sits inside the band. At 200 MeV it predicts 0.7–3.8×10⁻¹¹ against a measured 6.7×10⁻¹¹: right order, but the emulator's energy scaling (×3–4 from 50 to 200 MeV) is flatter than this part's ×16.
Takeaway. A part that latches at LET 1.2 is exactly the kind protons do find, but only above a proton energy threshold (here between 30 and 50 MeV), and the cross section keeps climbing to 200 MeV. A null at 30 MeV would have been worthless; the ratio σpHI ≈ 4×10⁻⁸ even at 200 MeV shows how few recoils reach the deposition this device needs.

What the Proton Proxy engine says: Predicted σp(200 MeV) = 5×10⁻⁹ cm² at 5 µm (2×10⁻⁸ at 2 µm) against the measured 1.2×10⁻⁸, within ×2.
Takeaway. The cleanest demonstration that proton-induced latchup is a mission-driving mechanism for low-onset, large-σ parts: trapped protons in the SAA delivered more than one latchup per device per day, and the ground proton curve predicted it. For a part like this the proton test is not a proxy at all; it is the environment.

Mixed field:

Protons

200 MeV:
SEL, σsat = 4.3×10⁻¹⁰ cm² fitted proton energy threshold 50.9 MeV; no events at the two lowest energies
In flight (PROBA-II):
0.4 SEL/device-day, about 2× the CREME96 prediction from room-temperature ground data (flight at ~45 °C)
What the Proton Proxy engine says: With the steep fitted curve (W 0.9) and σsat 0.10 the emulator over-predicts σp at shallow depth (2×10⁻⁸ at 2 µm) and under-predicts at 10 µm (5×10⁻¹¹); the measurement (4.3×10⁻¹⁰) is bracketed at about 7 µm. The SV depth you assign is the dominant uncertainty; the tool exposes it as an input for that reason.
Takeaway. Three lessons in one part: proton SEL has an energy threshold (51 MeV) set by recoil deposition versus SV depth; heavy-metal metallization hardens the mixed-field response; and a room-temperature proton curve under-predicted flight by 2× because the spacecraft ran hot. Temperature enters the SEL model as a ×0.74 onset factor for exactly this reason.

Protons

80 MeV:
no SEL to 10¹¹ p/cm²
Higher energies:
SEL, σsat = 2×10⁻¹¹ cm² at 190 MeV
What the Proton Proxy engine says: Taken at face value (onset 3.3, σ 0.056, 2–5 µm SV) the emulator expects 120–400 events at 80 MeV and 10¹¹ p/cm²; zero were seen. The null therefore excludes that shallow-SV model, the die's latch path needs deposition that only higher-energy recoils supply, and the 190 MeV cross section (2×10⁻¹¹) is 30–350× below the point prediction. Multi-die packages are the engine's weakest geometry.
Takeaway. A proton null at one energy followed by latchup at a higher one: the recoil energy spectrum matters as much as fluence. When a proton null conflicts with a known low heavy-ion onset, the resolution is usually depth (a buried latch path) or package geometry, not a mistake in either test.

Protons

250 MeV, 13 part types re-tested:
no SEL in any type to 2×10¹¹ p/cm² including the LM2991
What the Proton Proxy engine says: Assuming a modest σHI of 10⁻³ cm² the expected proton event count at 2×10¹¹ is 6 (2 µm), 0.75 (5 µm) or 0.04 (10 µm): the null is entirely consistent with a deep latch path in a power IC. The tool would report the low-onset models as unbounded for SV depths ≥ 5 µm.
Takeaway. The archetype of the problem: a part with the lowest heavy-ion threshold in a 38-type survey sailed through a 250 MeV proton screen at 2×10¹¹. Power ICs have deep, well-defined pnpn paths that recoils rarely reach, a proton null on a regulator says almost nothing about its heavy-ion latchup.

no SEL to 10¹¹ p/cm² each (room temperature, nominal bias)
GSFC:

What the Proton Proxy engine says: Expected proton events at 10¹¹: 0.33 (2 µm), 0.01 (5 µm), ~0 (10 µm). A null was the expected outcome even though the part latches at LET 7 with a cross section near 10⁻³ cm² the test simply could not see it.
Takeaway. Three samples, 10¹¹ protons each, zero events, and a heavy-ion onset of 7. This is the case to keep in mind when someone proposes a proton screen as SEL qualification: at 200 MeV and this fluence the expected event count for a shallow SV was below one, and the test was run cold and at nominal bias on top of that.

no SEL to LET 80, σ < 10⁻⁶ cm²

Protons

63 MeV (UC Davis):
no SEL on any epi variant
What the Proton Proxy engine says: With onsets of 27 and above, the recoil spectrum at 63 MeV cannot reach the required deposition at any SV depth: the emulator predicts zero proton events for every variant. The proton null is uninformative here, and the tool reports the whole low-onset model grid as unbounded.
Takeaway. A single device family spanning onset 27 to >80 purely through epi thickness, and a proton test that could not tell the variants apart. Epi (or well) depth sets both the heavy-ion onset and the depth of the sensitive volume; the two quantities that decide proton coverage move together, and in the wrong direction for proton screening.

Campaign 2 (2024):
"SEL observed: no"

Protons

75 MeV, 85 °C, worst case of four conditions:
SEL, σ = 4.3×10⁻¹¹ cm²/device (10¹¹ p/cm²)
What the Proton Proxy engine says: A device declared heavy-ion immune to LET 60 cannot latch under 75 MeV protons in this model, predicted σp is zero at any depth. The measured 4.3×10⁻¹¹ is not an engine failure; it is a conditions mismatch: the heavy-ion immunity was established cold, the proton events were found hot.
Takeaway. Immunity claims carry their test conditions. The Extended Historical SEL Priors (EHSP) map room-temperature nulls to hot-equivalent LET by a factor 0.74 for this reason, and the proxy tool's Bayesian block uses hot-equivalent susceptibility priors. Read "immune to LET 60" as "immune to LET 60 at 25 °C and nominal bias".

Microsemi M2GL010T Igloo2: high-current reset events at 40–50 MeV protons, none at 20 MeV (heavy-ion L₀ 2.0, σ 0.05). Xilinx XC7Z020 Zynq-7000: VccAUX latchup at LET 16 under heavy ions; 105 MeV protons to 1.1×10¹¹ found nothing, the authors themselves framed the null as "equivalent to 21.5 years of heavy-ion exposure up to LET ~10", which is the coverage concept this tool computes.

4. How This Connects to the Tool

The Proton Proxy Risk Tool turns the physics in these cases into numbers for your test: the recoil LET-equivalent spectrum your fluence and energy delivered, which Weibull behaviors that spectrum could and could not have found at your sensitive-volume depth, the worst-case heavy-ion rate that remains, and, in the Bayesian block, how much a null result should move your belief about the part, starting from the EHSP susceptibility priors and cross-checked against the corpus numbers on this page. Validation of the engine against these same parts is reported in the help page.

Method. Parts were paired by normalized part number across the corpus (aliases merged); proton outcomes were classified from the extracted result statements at sentence level (negated latchup statements and stated upper limits count as nulls) with 14 hand adjudications recorded in the build script; one mis-digitized heavy-ion curve (an energy-axis proton plot) was replaced by the author-reported Weibull. Scripts: build_proton_hi_pairs.py, build_public_aggregates.py, proxy_validation_harness.js.
