Abstract
This paper calculates and gives the analysis of electron swarm transport coefficients as described electric conductive characteristics of pure Ar, pure $SiH_4$, Ar-$SiH_4$ mixture gases($SiH_4$-0.5%, 2.5%, 5%) over the range of E/N = 0.01~300[Td], P = 0.1, 1, 5.0 [Torr] by Monte Carlo the backward prolongation method of the Boltzmann equation using computer simulation without using expensive equipment. The results have been obtained by using the electron collision cross sections by TOF, PT, SST sampling, compared with the experimental data determined by the other author. It also proved the reliability of the electron collision cross sections and shows the practical values of computer simulation. Electron swann parameters in argon were drastically changed by adding a small amount of mono-silane. The electron drift velocity in these mixtures showed unusual behaviour against E/N. It had negative slope in the medium range of E/N, yet the slope was not smooth but contained a small hump. The longitudinal diffusion coefficient also showed a corresponding feature in its dependence on E/N. A two-tenn approximation of the Boltzmann equation analysis and Monte Carlo simulation have been used to study electron transport coefficients.
