Square centimeters per volt second to drift speed at 1 kV/cm
Type a value in cm²/(V·s) to get it in cm/s instantly.
1,400,000cm/s
That's about the same as electrons in silicon. In a field of 100 V/cm the carriers drift at about 1,400 m/s.
Convert the other way: cm/s to cm²/(V·s)
What it means
How fast do carriers move?
Mobility falls with temperature and with doping. Published figures are usually for lightly doped material at room temperature.
The math
How to convert cm²/(V·s) to cm/s
To convert square centimeters per volt second to drift speed at 1 kV/cm, multiply by 1,000.
Example: 1,400 cm²/(V·s) × 1,000 = 1,400,000 cm/s.
In the other direction, 1 cm/s = 0.001 cm²/(V·s).
