Abstract

Exemplary embodiments are disclosed for a semi-metal transistor, comprising: a semi-metal contact region adjacent to a metal contact; at least one semiconductor terminal; and a semi-metal transition region connected between the contact region and the semiconductor terminal that transitions from a substantially zero gap semi-metal beginning at an interface of the contact region into a semiconductor with an energy band gap towards the semiconductor terminal.
