Abstract

A full-band electron transport calculation in wurtzite phase GaN is reported based on a full model of the electron-phonon interaction within a Cellular Monte Carlo (CMC) approach. The deformation potential electron-phonon coupling is calculated directly from the electronic bandstructure and lattice dynamics via the rigid pseudo-ion model. A good overall agreement between theory and measured velocity-field data is obtained with this model including polar optical and piezoelectric phonon, impurity, and dislocation scattering.
