Abstract
When charge transport in a semiconductor is considered on a sufficienly
large time scale , then the motion of particles is decisively
influenced by strong short range forces, so-called scatterings, or in a
fully classical picture, collisions of particles. For the accurate
description of charge transport in semiconductors the short range
interactions of the particles with their environment(crystal lattice) are
usually more important than short range forces between particles, which
only play a significant role when the particle density is very large. In
order to account for these effects, we shall obtain and analyze the
Boltzman equation for semiconductors.
