Abstract

The temperature and field dependences of both, drift mobilities and effective free paths of electrons and holes heated by the electric field are investigated. The non-activated hot hole mobility as well as carrier free paths increase with kinetic energy. The highest possible electric field is limited by the avalanche due to the impact ionization by holes and electrons.
