Summary:
This paper outlines the systematic isolation of an electrostatic discharge defect on a depletion-mode FET. The ESD damage converted a small portion of the DFET into an enhancement-mode FET and affected the logic circuit such that the device was stuck on a single power mode at both band frequencies.
