摘　　要：The limits of previous methods prompt us to design a new approach （named PRESTACE） to predict proton single event effect （SEE） cross-sections using heavy-ion test data. To more realistically simulate the SEE mechanisms, we adopt Geant4 and a location-dependent strategy to describe the physics processes and the sensitivity of the device. Cross-sections predicted by PRESTAGE for over twenty devices are compared with the measured data. Evidence shows that PRESTACE can calculate not only single event upsets induced by indirect proton ionization, but also direct ionization effects and single event latch-ups. Most of the PRESTAGE calculated results agree with the experimental data within a factor of 2 3.The limits of previous methods prompt us to design a new approach （named PRESTACE） to predict proton single event effect （SEE） cross-sections using heavy-ion test data.
