...circuits. Metal-semiconductor contacts can also be nonrectifying; i.e., the contact has a negligible resistance regardless of the polarity of the applied voltage. Such a contact is called an ohmic contact. All semiconductor devices as well as integrated circuits need ohmic contacts to make connections to other devices in an electronic system.
