We report on the temperature dependence of the heavy-ion transient-ion beam induced current response of Si epilayer devices from 80 to 300 K. The measurements were performed on a heavy-ion microbeam in conjunction with the new transient-ion beam induced current system developed at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. Furthermore, we perform a detailed comparison with technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations and discuss the results in terms of TCAD modeling, experimental procedure, and the implications for temperature-related single-event upset modeling.
