Abstract :
Monte Carlo calculations have been performed on the effect of ionized impurities on high-field electron transport at 300 K in silicon. For concentrations higher that 10^{18} cm^{-3} the impurity effects on drift velocity and mean energy are still present at field strength as high as 10
5V . cm
-1and a superohmic behavior of

is found.
