Abstract
An analytical model is suggested and the numerical modeling of energy release under the effect of neutrons in microvolumes of VLSI active elements allowing for the effect of surrounding materials is performed. The developed model for evaluating the sections of local radiation effects shows satisfactory agreement with the results of existing approaches.
