| Electron transport in 5 μm long InP n+nn+ structure with the n-region doping of 1015 cm-3 is theoretically investigated by the Monte Carlo particle technique at low lattice temperature (T = 10 K), when dominating scattering mechanism is the optical phonon emission. It is shown that at the constant bias a free-carrier grating can be formed inside the n-region. The free-carrier grating formation conditions are analysed by Monte Carlo particle simulation of electric field profiles and noise in the considered InP structure. |
