A metal-semiconductor contact with low resistance in both directions and a linear current-voltage relation. It is made by heavily doping the semiconductor surface so carriers can tunnel through the barrier.
Field: PN junctions and diodes
The result is a low-resistance ohmic contact in either current direction.
