A formula for the relaxation time for the disorder scattering mechanism is derived taking into account the complexities of the narrow‐gap zincblende semiconductor band structure. The main features of this formula are discussed showing the importance of the actual form of the electron wave functions appropriate for narrow‐gap semiconductors. Other theoretical approaches to the problem of disorder scattering are reviewed briefly.
