TL;DR: In this article, the properties of the mobility tensor and differential mobility-tensor components in the hot-carrier range are investigated in cubic semiconductors as regards to symmetry and independently from any scattering mechanism.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of charge transport properties at high electric fields in bulk cubic semiconductors is presented, based on the knowledge of the band structure and scattering mechanism of the material under investigation.
Abstract: This paper contains a review of charge transport properties at high electric fields in bulk cubic semiconductors The microscopic theoretical interpretation follows a semi-classical approach and is based on the knowledge of the band structure and scattering mechanism of the material under investigation For the solution of the Boltzmann equation, the Monte-Carlo simulation technique is considered, which provides an ‘exact’ numerical solution limited only by the simplifying assumptions inherent in the physical model assumed Experimental techniques for the measurements of the most important transport quantities are briefly surveyed Comparison between theory and experiment is reported for both electron and hole transport properties in Si, Ge and GaAs These substances, besides being the best known materials, can in fact be considered as models for any other cubic semiconductor

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the transverse and longitudinal diffusion noise temperatures in isotropic semiconductors in the presence of an applied electric field and showed that the ratio T n| / T n⊥ tends towards infinity at intense electric fields, and that differential mobility is mainly responsible for strong anisotropy induced by an electric field in the noise temperature.
