Abstract :
It is shown that relief forms of surface and character of distribution of potential irregularities of epitaxial gallium arsenide and barrier Au-metallization have fractal geometry, which in a local approximation must be defined as geometry and homogeneity of metal -semiconductor contact interfaces with Shottky barrier. This must be considered while designing the submicron and nano metal-semiconductor contacts.
