Popis: By performing biased accelerated life tests and three dimensional temperature simulations the effect of drain voltage on reliability and channel temperature of pseudomorphic InAlAs/InGaAs HEMTs for low noise applications was investigated. At V d =1 V excellent long term stability in nitrogen ambient was observed. Increasing the drain voltage to V d =2 V at constant channel temperature leads to a faster degradation rate which is caused by field accelerated degradation mechanism, probably involving fluorine diffusion. The influence of gate width on channel temperature and reliability was found to be small.
