Abstract

The Monte Carlo simulation of the electron transport in gallium nitride (GaN) reveals that the intervally electron transfer has a prominent role in GaN in high electric fields resulting in a strong inversion electron distribution greater than the thermal energy. The expression applies to several wide gap semiconductors such as the GaN and SiC at room temperatures.
