Abstract
We have induced the formation of deep levels in the active channel of GaAs MESFET's by exposing these devices to high fluence of energetic neutrons. A result, we have measured a modification of the main DC parameters, i.e. decrease of I DSS , gm and V p . By using an experimental technique based on the frequency dispersion of the device transconductance, gm(f), we have been able to indentify at least one of the type of the defects (U-band) introduced in the GaAs substrate by irradiation.
