Abstracts

EN

The current noise in n⁺nn⁺ InP structures at dominating low temperature (T = 10 K) optical phonon emission is simulated by Monte Carlo particle technique. The n-region length of simulated structures is varied from 1 to 100 μm. The peaks related to the near collisionless and optical phonon emission dominated plasma instabilities are recognized in current noise spectral density spectra.
