The thermal contact conductance at different temperatures and with different electrode forces and zinc coating morphology was measured by monitoring the infrared emissions from the one dimensionally simulated contact heat transfer experiments. The contact heat transfer coefficients were presented as a function of the harmonic mean temperature of the two contacting surfaces. Using these contact heat transfer coefficients and experimentally measured temperature profiles, the electrical contact resistivities both for the faying interface and electrode-workpiece interface were deduced from the numerical analyses of the one dimension simulation welding. It was found that the average value of the contact heat transfer coefficients for the material with zinc coating (coating weight from 0 g/$mm^2$to 100 g/$mm^2$) ranges from 0.05 W/$mm^2$$^{\circ}C$ to 2.0 W/$mm^2$$^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range above 5$0^{\circ}C$ harmonic mean temperature of the two contacting surfaces. The electrical contact resistivity deduced from the one dimension simulation welding and numerical analyses showed that the ratio of electrical contact resistivity at the laying interface to the electrical contact resistivity at the electrode interface is smaller than one far both bare steel and zinc coated steel.

In this work, we have fabricated the nanocrystalline carbon films by using unbalanced magnetron sputtering method with graphite and Ti targets for contact strip application of electrical railway. The power density of graphite target was fixed and the power density was increased for the increase of Ti concentration in TiC films. We investigated the hardness, surface roughness, contact angle, resistivity, HRTEM and XPS of TiC films with Ti concentration. The hardness and resistivity were improved with increasing Ti concentration. These results indicate that the improvement of hardness and resistivity is related to the increase of sp2 clusters in TiC films.

This paper aims to investigate the effect of silicone oils as processing agent affecting the loss and recovery of hydrophobicity. The recovery of hydrophobicity was evaluated by the measurement of the surface electrical resistivity and the contact angle on the SIR surface. Two kinds of silicone oils (1 and 2) having different molecular weight were selected under a consideration of hydrophobicity and processability. SIR specimens were exposed to corona discharges in air and the specimens were analyzed with contact angle and surface resistance measurements. It was observed that the contact angle and the surface resistivity of SIR increase gradually with testing time. The fast recovery of hydrophobicity of SIR, expressed by the increment of contact angle and surface resistivity, was showed in SIR2 containing silicone oil 2.

A universal four-point contact measurement method, has an advantage of non-existence of contact resistance, is demonstrated by the experiments with carbon nanotubes and ZnO nanowire. Ti/Au and Pt are tried to compare the influence of contact resistance between two different metals. These metals are selected to make Ohmic contact and Schottky contact originated from their different work functions. For precise experiments, Ti/Au and Pt are separately evaporated to form double 'four-point contact electrodes' on CNTs or ZnO, and the voltage-current characteristics are measured. This method can be applied to universal resistivity measurement for nanotubes and nanowires.

In order to reduce operating voltage of the GaN based blue-violet laser diodes, the effect of highly Mg doped GaN layer, which was grown below ohmic contact metals, on contact resistivity as well as operating voltage has been investigated. The addition of the highly Mg doped GaN layer greatly reduced contact resistivity of Pd/Pt/Au ohmic contacts from $5.2 \times {10}^-2 \Omegaㆍ$\textrm{cm}^2$ to 7.5 \times {10}^-4 \Omegaㆍ$\textrm{cm}^2$$. In addition, it also decreased device voltage at 20 mA by more than 3 V. Temperature- dependent sheet resistivity of the highly Mg doped GaN layer suggested that the reduction of the contact resistivity could be attributed to predominant current flow at the interface between the Pd/Pt/Au contacts and p-GaN through a deep level defect band, rather than the valence band.

Screen-printing metal contact is typically applied to the solar cells for mass production. And metal paste is used widely for rear contact formation of silicon solar cells. However, Screen-printing solar cell metal paste contact has low aspect ratio, low accuracy, high resistivity, hard control of unclean process. In this paper is to develop resistivity of rear contact for silicon solar cells applications. 4-point prove result, This resistivity of rear contact by Al evaporation was measured about $3.56{\times}10^6{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ less than screen printed solar cell about $52.6{\times}10^6{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$.

This paper describes the ohmic contact formation between a TiW film as a contact material deposied by RF magnetron sputter and polycrystalline 3C-SiC films deposied on thermally grown Si wafers. The specific contact resistance (${\rho}_c$) of the TiW contact was measured by using the C-TLM. The contact phase and interfacial reaction between TiW and 3C-SiC at high-temperature were also analyzed by XRD and SEM. All of the samples didn't show cracks of the TiW film and any interfacial reaction after annealing. Especially, when the sample was annealed at $800^{\circ}$ for 30min., the lowest contact resistivity of $2.90{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}cm^2$ was obtained due to the improved interfacial adhesion.

In this paper, plasma ion implant is performed with $PH_3$ gas diluted by helium gas on P-type Si wafer (100). Spike Rapid Thermal Processing(RTP) annealing performed for 30~60 sec from $800\;^{\circ}C$ to $1000\;^{\circ}C$ in $N_2+O_2$ ambient. Crystalline defect is analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscope(TEM) and Double crystal X-ray Diffraction(DXRD). Contact resistivity($\rho c$), contact resistance(Rc) and sheet resistance(Rs) are analyzed by measuring Transfer Length Method(TLM) using 4155C analysis. As annealing temperature increase, Rs decrease and ${\rho}c$ and Rc increase at temperature higher than $850\;^{\circ}C$. We achieve low Rs, ${\rho}c$ and Rc with Plasma ion implant and spike RTP.

We report the material and electrical properties of $CoSi_2$ and $NiSi_2$contacts to n-type 4H-SiC depending on the post-annealing and the metal covering conditions. The Ni and Co silicides are deposited by RF sputtering with Ni/Si/Ni and Co/Si/Co films separately deposited on 4H-SiC substrates. The deposited films are annealed at $800\;^{\circ}C$ in $Ar:H_2$ (9:1) gas ambient. Results of the specific surface resistivity measurements show that the resistivity of the Co-based metal contact was the one order lower than that of the Ni-based contact. The specific contact resistance was measured by a transmission line technique, and the specific contact resistivity of $1.5{\times}10^{-6}\;{\Omega}\;cm^2$ is obtained for Co/Si/Co metal structures after a two-step annealing; at $550\;^{\circ}C$ for 10 min and $800\;^{\circ}C$ for 3min. The physical properties of the contacts were examined by using XRD and AES, and the results indicate that the Co-based metal contacts have better structural stability of silicide phases formed after the high temperature annealing.

This paper was described electrical characteristics of Metal/GaN contact for application of GaN thin films. The lowest contact resistivity was $1.7\times10^{-7}[\Omega-cm^2]$ at Ti/Al Structure. Mean while, GaN MESFETs have been fabricated with a 250 nm thick channel on a high resistivity GaN layer grown by GAIVBE system. For a gate-source diode reverse bias of 35 V, the gate leakage current was $120{\mu}A$. From the data, we estimate the transconductance for our GaN MESFET to be 25 mS/mm.
