Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the electric field applied to a GaAs specimen is less than the threshold electric field, the current in the material increases linearly with the electric field. This behavior is typical of semiconductors under low electric fields, where Ohm's law is applicable, and the current-voltage relationship is linear.
