Abstract
The electron drift‐velocity–electric‐field relationship has been calculated for the Ga1−xInxP1−yAsy quaternary alloy using the Monte Carlo method. Emphasis has been placed on the compositional range for which the alloy is lattice matched to GaAs and InP. These calculations suggest that this quaternary offers promise as a material for microwave semiconductor devices, including field‐effect transistors and transferred electron devices.

Elevated temperature performance of pseudomorphic AlGaAs/InGaAs MODFETs

TL;DR: In this article, a gradual channel device model was developed to simulate the temperature dependent behavior and assist in the interpretation of the characteristics of MODFETs, and the simulations were shown to provide good predictive ability and confirm the physical reasons why the zero temperature coefficient point of a modulated field effect transistor occurs only for gate bias voltages below the threshold voltage.

Monte Carlo determination of electron transport properties in gallium arsenide

TL;DR: In this article, a Monte Carlo technique was used to calculate the electron distribution functions in the (000) and (100) valleys of gallium arsenide, and the structure of the distribution function was interpreted in terms of the energy dependence of the scattering processes, particular reference being made to the prediction of a population inversion for fields in excess of about 10 kV cm.
