摘要
A pulsed voltage input and a four-point measurement were used to determine the room temperature velocity-field characteristic of bulk gallium nitride test structures with an etched constriction. A peak electron velocity of approximately 2.5 x 10(7) cm/s was attained at a field of 180 kV/cm. which corresponds closely to theoretical predictions. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
