Abstract

This paper briefly reviews techniques to assess and model ohmic contacts between layers with finite conductivity. It is then extended to consider aspects of these models that are applicable to multilayer structures such as those found in high electron mobility transistors [HEMTS] and provides electrical models for these structures. Experimental results are included in some instances to provide insight into the magnitude of the parameters of the models.
