Spreading resistance of a flat circular contact

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Equations are derived for the spreading resistance of a flat contact on the surface of a conducting half-space and on an infinite semiconducting film. The values of the factor Q, which depends on the ratio of the contact radius to the layer thickness, are tabulated. Under certain conditions the spreading resistance can be calculated from simple equations.
