摘要
A mechanism of current flow in an alloyed ohmic In contact to low-doped gallium arsenide (n = 4 x 10(15) cm(-3)) is studied. From the temperature dependence of the contact resistance per unit surface area, it is found that the basic mechanism of current flow is thermionic emission through a potential barrier 0.03 eV in height.
