Abstract
Silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor (SiGe HBT) models are used in technology computer aided design (TCAD) to investigate single event transients induced by heavy-ion broadbeam and pulsed-laser two-photon absorption sources. A comparison between transient waveforms is provided, the proper extraction of heavy-ion broadbeam transients is discussed (along with circuit implications), and basic laser strike profiles are implemented in TCAD to provide insight into future design practices for simulation software to be used to describe laser-induced upsets in terms of an effective linear energy transfer (LET).
