摘要
Using a semi-classical three-valley Monte Carlo simulation approach, we analyze the steady-state and transient electron transport that occurs within bulk wurtzite InN using a revised set of material parameters, this revised set of parameters taking into account recently observed InN phenomenology. In particular, we examine how the steady-state and transient electron transport that occurs within bulk wurtzite InN changes in response to variations in the crystal temperature and the doping concentration. The sensitivity of these results to variations in the non-parabolicity coefficient is also examined.
