Title Electronic Structure of Metal-Semiconductor Contacts Author(s) M??nch, Winfried Publication Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1990. Description 300 p : online resource Abstract Note Interface and surface science have been important in the development of semicon?? ductor physics right from the beginning on. Modern device concepts are not only based on p-n junctions, which are interfaces between regions containing different types of dopants, but take advantage of the electronic properties of semiconductor?? insulator interfaces, heterojunctions between distinct semiconductors, and metal?? semiconductor contacts. The latter ones stood almost at the very beginning of semi?? conductor physics at the end of the last century. The rectifying properties of metal-semiconductor contacts were first described by Braun in 1874. A physically correct explanation of unilateral conduction, as this deviation from Ohm's law was called, could not be given at that time. A prerequisite was Wilson's quantum theory of electronic semi-conductors which he published in 1931. A few years later, in 1938, Schottky finally explained the rectification at metal-semiconductor contacts by a space ISBN,Price 9789400906570 Keyword(s) 1. CONDENSED MATTER 2.
