A MODEL FOR TRANSIENT IMPACT IONISATION

DC Herbert (DRA Electronics Division, RSRE, St Andrews Road, Malvern, Worcs WR14 3PS, UK)

Abstract

A model for impact ionisation allowing for the spatial transient is described. Ionisation rates and phonon scattering rates are adjusted to fit experimental data. To reduce some of the uncertainty, the calculated ionisation rates due to Kane are used.
