Abstract

A three-valley Monte Carlo simulation approach is used for a detailed comparative analysis of the transient electron transport that occurs within bulk zinc blende gallium arsenide and bulk wurtzite gallium nitride. We find that in both cases that the electron drift velocity and the average electron energy field-dependent “settling times” are strongly correlated, and that the electric field resulting in the shortest electron transit-time is a function of the channel length. The calculated dependence of the peak transient electron drift velocity on the applied electric field can be used for the design optimization of short-channel high-frequency devices.
