What this article still needs: some simple band diagrams illustrating the various energies; a table listing important metal-semiconductor contact combinations; a discussion of contact formation by implantation and annealing; a few words about barrier layers and electromigration.

Are the band diagrams for the ohmic contacts correct? I was under the impression that they should be reversed. In both cases, it appears that the majority carriers would have a difficult time moving from the semiconductor to the metal under zero (or negative) bias
