Abstract

Lateral current crowding effects on contact resistance measurements in four terminal resistor patterns are discussed by using a computer model based on a three-dimensional resistor network. The model is then applied to extrapolate the contact resistivity in n+, p+ silicon/titanium silicide interfaces. Values in agreement with the ones predicted by the field and thermionic field emission theory are obtained.
