Abstract :
Commercially available 0.5 watt GaAs FETs with gold based refractory gate metallizations have been subjected to accelerated stress testing under r.f. operation at 8 GHz. The results of these tests indicate that a conservative estimate of the mean time to failure of these devices is 2.5 × 106 hours at 125°C channel temperature.
