Soft errors from particles to circuits

This book addresses soft errors in digital integrated circuits subjected to the terrestrial natural radiation environment. It details the physical mechanisms at the origin of soft errors and explains how to detect, characterize, and simulate these phenomena in electronic circuits. It offers a practi...
