TLDR
In this article, the electron drift velocity and electric field relationship for the Ga1−xInxP1−yAsy quaternary alloy was calculated using the Monte Carlo method.
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.
