  • Abstract
    It is suggested that electronic devices made from quaternary alloys in which the carrier velocity is strongly influenced by alloy scattering will have an intrinsically higher temperature stability. This is illustrated by Monte Carlo computer simulations of the steady-state velocity-field characteristic of n-type Ga0.24In0.76As0.5P0.5 around the velocity peak.
