  • Abstract
    We discuss conditions necessary for obtaining repeated velocity overshoot in semiconductors. Two classes of structures which provide these conditions are considered. These structures offer the potential for achieving average drift velocities well in excess of the maximum steady-state velocity over distances ranging from submicron to tens of microns.
