  • Thermally stable polycrystal to single crystal electrical contact structure
    Publication number: 20020137300
    Abstract: A method for forming a thermally stable ohmic contact structure that includes a region of monocrystalline semiconductor and a region of polycrystalline semiconductor. At least one region of dielectric material is formed between at least a portion of the region of monocrystalline semiconductor and the region of polycrystalline semiconductor, thereby controlling grain growth of the polycrystalline semiconductor.
    Type: Application
