Ohmic Contacts Between Metals and Semiconductors, Lecture 46

The Ohmic contact is presented as a matter of quantum mechanical tunneling in heavily doped metal-semiconductor junctions. I finish with a comparison of Ohmic contacts versus Schottky diodes. Here is the link for my entire course on “Semiconductor Devices for VLSI“, which I recorded on-line during Fall 2020 This is Lecture 53 of 77. The Schottky junction diode is introduced in Lecture 43 Schottky Barriers Lecture 44 Schottky Rectification Any textbook references are to the free e-book “Modern Semiconductor Devices for Integrated Circuits“ by Chenming Calvin Hu. #SchottkyDiode #OhmicContact #SchottkyBarrier #ElectronTunneling #SchottkyVersusOhmic
