            Abstract : 
Employing p+-ZnTe/ZnSe quantum wells whose sub-bands are aligned in energy so that resonant tunnelling of holes can occur through the multiquantum well region, Au/Pt/Pd nonalloyed ohmic contacts to p-type ZnSe have been realised. A specific contact resistance as low as 5.0*10-2 Omega cm2 has been achieved for N-doped ZnSe with a hole concentration of 7.0*1016 cm-3.
