Abstract

The threshold energy for carrier multiplication Ei in Ge, Si, and GaAs is calculated theoretically. The theoretical values of Ei are obtained from a consideration of the semiconductor energy band structure along with energy and crystal momentum conservation in the ionization process. Calculated values are found to be consistent with experimental data.
