metal-semiconductor Ohmic contactsn-type GaAsthermionic emissiondiffusionThe use of two generalised carrier transport models to account for the N D 1 dependence of the specific contact resistance (蟻 c ) of metal-semiconductor Ohmic contacts to n -type GaAs is proposed. Both models include the ...
1940: Russell Ohl of Bell Labs accidentally discovers that a doped junction semiconductor will produce an electric current when exposed to light. 1954: Bell Labs researchers Daryl Chapin, Calvin Fuller, and Gerald Pearson make the first practical photovoltaic silicon solar cell, which is about 6 pe...
