Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we have investigated the influence of optical phonon energy on electron saturation velocity and energy relaxation time by using a full band Monte Carlo simulator. The energy band structure is obtained using the first principle calculation. The scattering probability is calculated so as to conserve the energy and momentum in the full band structure. It is found that the range of optical phonon energy from 56.2 to 63.9 meV allows experimental saturation velocity and energy relaxation time. Electron saturation velocity is more sensitive than relaxation time to the optical phonon energy.
