Abstract
High-frequency large-signal electron transport properties are studied by Monte-Carlo simulation considering n-GaAs as a model problem. It is demonstrated that the use of steady-state transport parameters is ina dequate for simulating device operation at microwave and millimeter wa ve frequencies. The error of the relaxation time approximation, as com monly used in physics based device modeling, is investigated and possi ble improvements are indicated. A novel effective large-signal mobilit y approximation is proposed for simplified transport models in the upp er microwave and millimeter wave range.
