  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. 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)

  16. EPC 2015 #1 (1E14 p/cm2 )

  17. EPC 2015 #1 (1E14 p/cm2 )

  18. EPC 2015 #1 (1E14 p/cm2 ) VGS=3V VGS=2V VGS=1V

  22. 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
