Abstract

In strong electric fields, when the impact ionization becomes intensive and the electron drift velocity may decrease with the growing field, self-oscillating processes arise in semiconductors at very high frequencies up to the submillimetre range. These processes are due to negative dynamic differential conductivity of plasma within the corresponding frequency region. The highest frequency branch results from the excitation of plasma oscillations.
