Abstract :
Electron transport over graded Alx Ga1-x As heterojunction launchers has been investigated using the self-consistent ensemble Monte Carlo method. A two valley 
Γ-L energy band model, position dependent phonon spectra, quantum mechanical reflection, and ohmic contacts have been included. Results show that heterojunction launchers reduce the average drift velocities but generate a distinct fraction of ballistic electrons.
