Radiation effects were measured in GaAs FETs using 1.1 MeV alpha particles. With the devices under bias, degradation in current/ voltage characteristics and charge collection efficiency was observed during irradiation. Failure analysis revealed burnout in some, but not all, devices that appeared to be initiated by local melting of the GaAs under the gate.
