Abstract
The leakage current in the semi-insulating substrate of a GaAs device measured in a conventional voltage-controlled experiment shows hysteresis. Experiments in constant-current conditions show that this arises from an S-type negative differential conductivity. These features are incompatible with the conventional trap-fill-limited model, and we outline an alternative explanation based on the impact ionization of multiple deep level traps.
