Abstract:
A theory is developed for the carrier transport properties and impact ionization rate in an intrinsic polar semiconductor with high carrier density. Polar scattering prevails in weak fields but it is shown that intercarrier interactions become important at higher field strengths. The carrier concentration is found to vary approximately exponentially with applied field. Numerical results for data representative of InSb are presented. Author
