Abstract

Electron transport in 3 µm long InN n+nn+ structures is theoretically investigated by the Monte Carlo particle technique at low lattice temperatures when optical phonon emission is the dominating scattering mechanism. It is shown that at constant bias a free-carrier grating can be formed inside the n-region. Such a grating is found to be responsible for microwave power generation in the THz frequency range.
