Drift speed at 1 kV/cm to square centimeters per volt second
Type a value in cm/s to get it in cm²/(V·s) instantly.
1.4cm²/(V·s)
That's 1.4× as fast as amorphous silicon, while holes in silicon is 321× higher. In a field of 100 V/cm the carriers drift at about 1.4 m/s.
Convert the other way: cm²/(V·s) to cm/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 cm/s to cm²/(V·s)
To convert drift speed at 1 kV/cm to square centimeters per volt second, multiply by 0.001.
Example: 1,400 cm/s × 0.001 = 1.4 cm²/(V·s).
In the other direction, 1 cm²/(V·s) = 1,000 cm/s.
