We show that, as a consequence of an enhanced electron runaway for two-dimensional (2D) electrons, the peak electron drift velocity and peak electric field in compound semiconductors are smaller than in bulk semiconductors. This prediction agrees with the results of Monte-Carlo simulations for the 2D electrons at a GaAs/GaAlAs heterointerface and with the measured peak velocities in InGaAs/InAlAs quantum wells.
