Electrical properties of aluminum nitride in a strong field
Main Article Content
Abstract
Using the analytical expressions for relaxation times of different scattering mechanisms properties of charge carriers’ transport for zincblende aluminum nitride in the high field region were described. Also temperature dependence of low field mobility, filed-velocity and field-temperature characteristics as well as the occupation function of valleys in the high electric field were calculated
