Gate current measurements are adopted as a tool to characterize hot electron effects. Degradation consists of a decrease of drain current and is correlated to the gate current to drain current ratio.

Abstract

This paper reviews results of a study concerning the effects of hot electrons on the degradation of GaAs MESFETs and HEMTs. Gate current measurements are adopted as a tool to characterize hot electron effects. Degradation consists of a decrease of drain current and is correlated to the gate current to drain current ratio.
