Sumario:This paper reports on single-event upset (SEU) rate calculations using the GEANT4 code. Single event effect rate modeling can be performed using various approaches. In this paper, we propose to compare the standard rectangular parallepiped (RPP) cosmic ray effects in microelectronic code (CREME86) model with our direct Monte Carlo simulation using the GEANT 4 (radiation transport code developed by CERN) software. The results obtained on two device types are in good agreement with CREME86. (14 refs).
