Description

An Ensemble Monte Carlo simulation has been used to model bulk electron transport at the rang 300 - 600 K, for wurtzite phase of GaN. Electronic states within the conduction band are representation by non parabolic ellipsoidal valleys centred on important symmetry point of the Brillouin zone (Γ - U - K). In the case of wurtzite GaN Transport has been modeling with an electric field applied both parallel and perpendicular to (0001) c-axis. Also temperature and doping dependencies of electron mobility in wurtzite structure GaN have been calculated. It is found that the electron mobility decreases monotonically as the temperature increases from 100 K to 600 K. The low temperature value of electron mobility decreases significantly with increasing doping concentration. Our result are in fair agreement with other recent calculations obtained using the experimental method.
