Hydrodynamic transport parameters of wurtzite ZnO from analytic- and full-band Monte Carlo Simulation

Zinc oxide (ZnO) has seen practical applications much earlier than most wide band gap semiconductors, but only recently it has received renewed attention for electronic and optoelectronic applications because of its potential advantages over III-nitrides, including commercial availability of bulk single crystals, amenability to wet chemical etching, a larger exciton binding energy, and excellent radiation-hard characteristics (Ozgur et al., 2005).
