Abstract: | The problem of the closure of the moment equations of the semiconductor Boltzmann equation is studied in the framework of
the Kane dispersion relation (therefore avoiding the limitations of the parabolic band approximation). By using the maximum
entropy ansatz for the closure one obtains, in the limit of small anisotropy, explicit constitutive relations for the stress
tensor and the flux of energy flux tensor. The results obtained are in remarkable agreement with those arising from Monte
Carlo simulations.
