Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) devices are increasingly being adopted for low Earth orbit (LEO) missions; however, direct ionization single-event effect (SEE) induced by protons have emerged as a critical concern. Due to process miniaturization in COTS devices, SEEs can be triggered even by particles with low linear energy transfer (LET), yet evaluation data remain insufficient. In the low-LET regime in particular, the cross-section drops sharply and extrapolation from existing data breaks down, making experimental evaluation essential. In this study, SEE evaluation in this regime was conducted using low-energy protons from a 1 MV tandem accelerator.
