Abstract--ln this work we report on hot-electron stress experiments performed on commercial AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs pseudomorphic HEMTs. The stress cycles induce a permanent increase of the gate-drain breakdown voltage (breakdown walkout). Different characterization techniques are applied to the devices under test, consistently indicating that the physical mechanism underlying walkout is the build-up of negative charge in the region between the gate and drain.
