“…We will show in this article by means of a 1D simulation that the second option can be realized in a GaAs transistor, provided that the differential electron mobility remains negative up to ultrahigh electric fields and switching occurs in a sufficiently small area of the device. The train of the moving and avalanching Gunn domains appear in the n 0 collector at a certain stage of transistor switching, which causes very intensive carrier generation across the entire switching volume and determines a much shorter switching time than that in a Si avalanche transistor, 10,11 where the carriers have to be delivered from the n + emitter and the n 0 − n + interface in the collector.…”

“…From the physical point of view, the relatively fast switching of the device to a relatively low residual voltage is due to the avalanche injection, with pronounced shrinkage of the collector field domain caused by the formation and spread of a quasineutral (plasma) domain across the n 0 collector region. [9][10][11] This quasineutral domain is formed by the electron injection from the emitter, and by the impact generation of the holes near the collector contact and their drift towards the emitter. Therefore the switching time of a Si avalanche transistor cannot be shorter (but rather significantly longer) than the time it takes for the holes to travel across the n 0 collector layer at the saturated velocity.…”

“…Одномерная численная модель, использованная в дан-ной работе, неоднократно успешно использовалась для описания Si, GaAs и SiC биполярных транзисторов, в том числе и в режимах предельно больших плотностей тока [12,[17][18][19]. Детали процесса моделирования подроб-но описаны в работе [17].…”

“…Typical TOF based laser radars are using laser pulses with a pulse width of 3 -5 ns limited by the limitations of high-speed laser diode drivers [5]. However, in principle, the single-shot accuracy, timing walk as well as eye-safety could be improved if shorter, even sub-ns pulses, were used.…”
