Contacts Processes in the System Me-ZnO
<i>The analysis of the knovn mechanism of surfase-barrier formation on the zinc oxide has been carrud ont. The dependence of surfase and contact properties of zinc oxide on thermal treatment in air and in vacuum has been investgated. It is establish had that dip ending on the character of surfase treatment of zinc oxde the contacts beeome rectigying or omical. It is shown that the main factor, determining the properties of contactas to zinc oxide is the state of the surfase of semiconductors. The influence of humidity on the properties of these contacts has been studied.
