On a current instability resulting from the diffusion of hot electrons

View publication

Abstract

An instability of the electron concentration is predicted in a semiconductor with a nearly saturating drift velocity and a diffusion constant which increases with increasing electric field. A small signal analysis shows under what conditions fluctuations of the carrier concentration will be unstable. © 1967 The American Institute of Physics.
