Abstract
A previously developed nonlocal impact ionization model based on the a verage energy of hot-electron subpopulation has been further simplifie d. The system of hydrodynamic transport equations consisting of three equations for these high-energy electrons has been reduced to a single equation. The simulation results for n(+)-n-n(+) structures are in go od agreement with Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. The model is easily a pplicable to two-dimensional (2-D) problems by exploiting the current how line approach.
