Monte Carlo simulations of proton-induced spallation reactions show th
at the shape of sensitive volume determines the variation of SEU cross
section with angle of incidence. As the sensitive volume dimensions b
ecome smaller, the cross section variation becomes more pronounced. CO
SMIC simulation results are shown to be consistent with results from a
simulation code by others [1], a direct contradiction to statements m
ade in Ref. [1]. The simulation results somewhat consistent with exper
imental measurements on surface barrier detectors.
