Abstract

A review of the theoretical, numerical and experimental results of investigations of autosolitons in the form of current filaments and electric field domains in semiconductors and semiconductor devices is presented. Main attention is given to a qualitative description and to the physics of phenomena. Properties of current filaments and electric field domains which appear in semiconductors and devices with a positive differential conductivity are discussed.KeywordsSpace Charge RegionLocal InstabilityDifferential ConductivityCurrent FilamentBall LightningThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
