  • Abstract
    Carrier removal and mobility degradation in epitaxially grown n-type GaAs, due to exposure to fast neutrons, is reported. The variations in carrier concentrations and mobilities are utilized to predict the transconductance degradation of GaAs JFET\´s as a function of neutron fluence. Experimental results up to a fluence of 8 \\times 10^{15} n/cm2are reported and correlated with theory.
