Abstract
Accelerated aging was used to investigated the reliability of a 2-18 GHz monolithic microwave integrated circuit amplifier. A mean time between failures of 2.5*10/sup 5/ h at a channel temperature of 125 degrees C was estimated from high-temperature accelerated RF lifetest results. Failure analysis revealed that degradation and burnout were caused by leakage currents at the GaAs surface/passivation-layer interface.<>
