We present a detailed investigation of hot carrier induced impact ionization and light emission in submicron GaAs MESFETs and AlGaAs/GaAs HEMTs demonstrating that emission of photons with hv > Eg is mainly caused by recombination between channel electrons and holes generated by impact ionization.

Abstract

We present a detailed investigation of hot carrier induced impact ionization and light emission in submicron GaAs MESFETs and AlGaAs/GaAs HEMTs demonstrating that emission of photons with hv > Eg is mainly caused by recombination between channel electrons and holes generated by impact ionization.
