Abstract
Kinks in GaAs MESFET and HEMT I(V) characteristics may arise from a change in the depletion layer dimensions caused by redistribution of the two-dimensional electric field when the space-charge layer reaches the drain-side recess edge. The mechanism is benign in that it does not question material quality and growth
