SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

Provided are a novel method and a novel structure for bringing a Ge or SiGe compound and a metal into ohmic contact with each other. A semiconductor device is provided with a portion composed of only i) Ge or SiGe compound, ii) a metal, and iii) an insulator or a semiconductor arranged between the material i) and the metal ii). In the semiconductor device, A) the material i) and the metal ii) have Schottky junction in the case where the holes of the material i) are majority carriers, and/or B) the material i) and the metal ii) are in an ohmic contact when the electrons of the material i) are majority carriers.
