Ohmic mechanisms of metal/semiconductor contacts were reviewed and ohmic contact systems for III-V compound semiconductors were surveyed. This paper also reviewed the conduction currents by the thermionic emission, thermionic-field emission, field emission, recombination in the space charge region and hole injection. The ohmic contacts on GaAs, InGaAs and InP were examined through surveying the papers and patents.
