Title: How to calculate impact ionization phenomena and avalanche breakdown in III-V se
Post by: fjuestc on December 11, 2015, 04:39

How to calculate impact ionization phenomena and avalanche breakdown in III-V semiconductors superlattice.


Here we focus on the electrons with a certain kinetic energy , collisions with lattice. It makes an electron in the valence band being stimulated to the conduction band , and those  electrons will participate in conduction.

I want to calculate electron-impact ionization rates in seiconductor and re-calcaulate them for new  structures.

* Referrence to "theroy of the ionization of atom by electron impact" review of modern physic ,1968, Vol.40 No.3,pp565-587

Could you elaborate a bit on what it is exactly that you want to calculate?
