Monte Carlo computer simulations of electron impact ionization in InSb crystal are carried out for both instantly switched on dc and high-frequency electric fields. It is established that the rate of generation of electron-hole pairs decreases with the increase of electric field frequency, due to the inertia of electron heating by high-frequency electric field. For fields oscillating at frequencies much higher than the reciprocal momentum relaxation time, the impact ionization threshold field is found to be a linear function of frequency. Good agreement between calculations and available experimental data has been obtained.
