Abstract
This paper presents the computation results for the passage of a current through electrodes of various shapes. In particular, cylindrically shaped contacts and rectangular current-carrying buses are considered. The effect of the electrode boundaries and the location of the contact spots on the value of the contact resistance was estimated. It was shown when the contact resistance can admittedly differ from the values found using the available analytical formulas.
