ABSTRACT:
The invention, called hypercontacting, achieves a very high level of activated doping at an exposed surface region of a compound semiconductor. This enables production of low resistance ohmic contacts by creating a heavily doped region near the contact. Such region lowers the contact's tunneling barrier by decreasing the extent of the depletion region at the contact, thereby reducing resistance.
