contact resistivity p c (T) for ohmic contacts to the silicon n + -n-structures whose n + -layer
was formed using phosphorus diffusion or ion implantation. The p c (T) dependence was
measured in the 125-375 K temperature range with the transmission line method, with
allowance made for conduction in both the n + -layer and n + -n doping step.
