5 Singh There is a dipole field at the surface of a metal. This electric field must be overcome for an electron to escape.
6 work function - electron affinity If s < m, the semiconductor bands bend down. If s > m, the semiconductor bands bend up.

23 Tunnel contacts For high doping, the Schottky barrier is so thin that electrons can tunnel through it. metal p+ p Degenerate doping at a tunnel contact metal n+ n Tunnel contacts have a linear resistance.

25 Transport mechanisms Drift Diffusion Thermionic emission Tunneling All mechanisms are always present. One or two transport mechanisms can dominate depending on the device and the bias conditions. In a forward biased pn-junction, diffusion dominates. In a tunnel contact, tunneling dominates. In a Schottky diode, thermionic emission dominates.
