Abstract :
Accelerated life tests on power GaAs FETs have shown these devices to be reliable components. At operating temperatures of 125°C a MTTF of mid 106 hours is predicted. The activation energy of this process is 1.85ev with ¿n = 0.7. Failures are related to electromigration in the gate fingers.
