Metal-Semiconductor Contacts (Monographs in Electrical and Electronic Engineering)

This second edition brings a greatly expanded treatment of the physics of Schottky-barrier formation to its comprehensive discussion of modern semiconductor technology. Topics covered include the current/voltage relationship, the capacitance of rectifying contacts, and practical methods of fabricating contacts. Written for semiconductor technologists and physicists engaged in research on semiconductor interfaces, this text emphasizes practical implications wherever they are relevant to device technology.
