A series of iinvestigations into reliability effects of moisture on GaAs structures have lead to the conclusion that GaAs devices have resistance to degradation effects of humidity. This not only provides evidence that GaAs devices are ready for low-cost non-hermetic packages, but that GaAs ICs may have superior reliability performance compared to silicon devices under accelerated humidity conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
