Abstract

A metal semiconductor ohmic contact farming process consists of enrichment of the surface of the semiconductor on which contact is to be formed, by ion implantation of a dopant, followed by deposition of a metal film on the implanted surface and then by thermal annealing at a temperature lower than 500.degree. C. and for a period shorter than 60 minutes.
