It has been almost a decade since the introduction of CREME96, the current state-of-the art tool for SEE rate prediction. CREME96 uses phenomenological models to predict SEE rates. These models were based on two assumptions. First it was assumed that the ionization trail left by the particle was much narrower than the minimum feature size in the microelectronic circuits. Second, it was assumed that the SEE sensitivity of individual microcircuits could be idealized as being due to a single sensitive junction. The cross section of this junction versus the linear energy transfer (LET) rate of the ionizing particle could then be measured and used to estimate the SEE rate. Since CREME96 was developed, the minimum feature size has shrunk by more than a factor of 100. As a result, the interaction between track microstructure and device characteristics can no longer be ignored. This assumption in CREME96 has been shown to have significant shortcomings when applied to new and emerging technologies like advanced complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (SiGe HBT), photodiodes, and infrared (IR) focal plane arrays (FPAs). The solution is to replace current models in CREME96 with a physics-based model that correctly accounts for the distribution of energy deposition about the track and the possible existence of multiple sensitive junctions in each microcircuit.<br><strong>POC:<\/strong> <a href=\"mailto:brian.sierawski@vanderbilt.edu\">Brian Sierawski<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Graphics Rendering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/software.nasa.gov\/software\/MSC-24663-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Engineering DOUG Graphics for Exploration (EDGE)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>EDGE is a real-time 3d graphics rendering package based on the Dynamic On-board Ubiquitous Graphics (DOUG) graphics engine.
