Which outcome impairs high-frequency GaN transistor performance because of unintended modulation?

💡 Explanation

Channel hot electron injection causes electron trapping within GaN's native defects and grain boundary energy levels: the gate bias becomes shielded near the drain. Therefore, increased GaN trapping reduces cutoff frequency earlier rather than the Kirk effect modulating the drift region width at high carrier densities.
