← ScienceWhich effect occurs in a gallium arsenide FET when bias exceeds velocity saturation?
A)Reduced current gain occurs
B)Increased channel resistance develops
C)Real space transfer occurs✓
D)Kirk effect significantly decreases
💡 Explanation
Applying high electric fields causes electrons to gain enough energy to transfer from the high mobility Γ valley to the low mobility L valley; this is called Real Space Transfer, because the electrons ‘move’ to different energy bands, therefore current reduces rather than increases because mobility falls.
