KnowraOhmic contactLinked fromLinked fromThe 7 pages that link to Ohmic contact, each with the reason it gives.All 7Compared with 7P–n junctionCompared with: It provides electrical connection without the strong rectification characteristic of a p–n boundary.Depletion regionCompared with: Unlike a rectifying junction, it is engineered to avoid a substantial carrier-depleted barrier.Schottky barrierCompared with: It is the nonrectifying contact behavior sought when a Schottky barrier is undesirable.Schottky diodeCompared with: It contrasts with the rectifying metal–semiconductor contact that forms a Schottky diode.Forward biasCompared with: Its conduction is not the junction-selective effect produced by forward bias.Georg OhmCompared with: Its name is related, but it denotes a device property rather than Ohm’s general circuit law.Metal–semiconductor junctionCompared with: It is the desired alternative when a metal contact should pass current in either direction.
