GaN radiation test Irradiation with 3-MeV protons at difference fluence (1-4∙1014 p/cm2) EPC2015 (VDMAX=40V) #1 1E14 p/cm2 #2 2E14 p/cm2 #6 3E14 p/cm2 #7 4E14p/cm2 EPC2010 (VDMAX=200V) #5 3E14 p/cm2 #6 1E14 p/cm2
EPC 2010 #6 (1E14 p/cm2 ) Floating Drain. VGS swept from 0 to -4V and back to zero. Then, from 0 to +4V and back to zero again
EPC 2010 #6 (1E14 p/cm2 ) Drain connected to a 0.5V voltage generator. Gate voltage swept from 0 to 3V (for any VGS value a pulsed measurement is taken so as to avoid device heating)

Irradiation results After irradiation with 3-MeV protons at the highest fluence (4∙1014 p/cm2), the devices exhibited an increase of up to one order of magnitude in gate leakage, almost 1 V of threshold voltage reduction, degradation of the subthreshold slope, and drop in transconductance
