Abstract The solution of Boltzmann's equation for n‐InSb at high fields and 77 °K is obtained by Rees' iterative method. The time independent solution obtained is in agreement with a recent Monte‐Carlo calculation by Fawcett and Ruch and experimental results by Neukerman and Kino. A comparison between the Boltzmann solution and the drifted Maxwellian approach previously discussed by the authors is also presented.
