The Thermoballistic Transport Model

A Novel Approach to Charge Carrier Transport in Semiconductors

by Reinhard Lipperheide, Uwe Wille ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
The book presents a comprehensive survey of the thermoballistic approach to charge carrier transport in semiconductors. This semi-classical approach, which the authors have developed over the past decade, bridges the gap between the opposing drift-diffusion and ballistic models of carrier transport. While incorporating basic features of the latter two models, the physical concept underlying the ... Read more
