Abstract
Recently the importance of cosmic ray neutron-induced soft errors has been recognized. We propose a simple model to estimate the neutron-induced soft error rates (SER's), which is a modified version of the burst generation ra te (BGR) model. Our model can he used to easily and quickly estimate neutro n-induced soft error rates and provides a useful guideline for device and c ircuit engineers to estimate neutron-induced soft errors (SE's).
