Abstract

The relationship between contact window dimensions, specific contact resistivity pc and sheet resistance on contact resistance has been investigated for different current-flow geometries. It is shown that as the window size is reduced, ρc starts to become the dominant factor giving contact resistances independent of the direction of current flow.
