Description

Heavy ion radiation effects were studied in GaAs FETs, MMICs, and HEMTs. Significant degradation occurred at 1 x 109 cm-2 to 6 x 1011 cm-2 for GaAs MMICs depending on whether the irradiation was Si or H, respectively. HEMTs were found to withstand higher levels of irradiation than FETs or MMICs for the same degree of drain current degradation
