  • Abstract
    This work shows data of hot electron degradation of power AlGaAs/GaAs HFETs and uses them to infer general indications on the bias point dependence of the device degradation, the meaningfulness of the breakdown voltage figure of merit and the physical phenomena taking place in the devices during the stress
