High-Field Transport in GaAs, InP, and InxGa1-xAsyP1-y

  • Chapter

Abstract

The static electron velocity-field characteristics for n type GaAs, InP, In0.53Ga0.47As, and In0.8Ga0.44P0.56 have been measured using a microwave time-of-flight technique. Drift velocities were measured at temperatures from 95 K to 400 K over a range of field strengths from about 10 kV/cm to beyond 200 kV/cm at some temperatures. InP exhibits the highest velocity at high fields (∿ 100 kV/cm) while the lowest high-field velocity was measured in In0.53Ga0.47As. The variation of the high-field velocity was measured in In0.53Ga0.47As is approximately one third of that obtained with GaAs and InP, and is even smaller in In0.8Ga0.2As0.44P0.56.
