Metal-Semiconductor Schottky Barrier Junctions and Their Applications

Metal-Semiconductor Schottky Barrier Junctions and Their Applications edited by B.L. Sharma.

The present-day semiconductor technology would be inconceivable without extensive use of Schottky barrier junctions. In spite of an excellent book by Professor E.H. Rhoderick (1978) dealing with the basic principles of metal­ semiconductor contacts and a few recent review articles, the need for a mo...
