Abstract

The control of barriers to carrier flow in a contact between a metal and a higher band gap semiconductor employing an intermediate lower band gap semiconductor with doping and greater than 1.5% lattice mismatch. A WSi metal contact of doped InAs on GaAs of 7.times.10.sup.-6 ohm/cm.sup.2 is provided. This is a continuation application of pending prior application Ser. No. 183,473, filed on Apr. 15, 1988 now abandoned which is a continuation of Ser. No. 876,063, filed on June 14, 1986, now abandoned.
