Ohmic contacts to n-type and p-type gallium antimonide whiskers
The ohmic contacts to the n-type conductivity gallium antimonide whiskers were created due to a current pulse shaper. It was established that I – V characteristics of GaSb whiskers at low temperatures are linear, regardless of the direction of current transmission. That allows using the investigated techniques to create electrical contacts and study their electrophysical characteristics. GaSb samples with a diameter of 12 μm and 20 μm were studied at temperatures 4.2 K and 77 K.
