Abstract

The probabilistic approach to carrier transport is presented. Within this approach, a prototype thermoballistic model is developed. It incorporates as the constitutive element of the thermoballistic concept the ballistic configurations, which arise from a random partitioning of the length of a semiconducting sample into ballistic transport intervals. The prototype model allows various examples of current interest to be treated explicitly.
