Abstract: A method of experimental determination of the sensitive volume(Sv)thickness d of micro-electronic devices is presented. It is based upon the deconvolution of the functions of heavy ion upset cross sections versus the range of the incidentions σseu(r), measured by varying the ion energy, and LET(r). The measured σseu(LET) and d can be used for accurate prediction of the rate of Single Event Effects (SEE) in space.
