Abstract
Within examples, a semiconductor device includes a first structure that includes a first doped semiconductor material of a first doping type. The semiconductor device further includes a metal in contact with the first structure, and a second structure that includes a second doped semiconductor material of the first doping type in contact with the first structure. A band off-set for majority charge carriers between the first doped semiconductor material and the second doped semiconductor material is sufficiently large for charge carriers from the second doped semiconductor material to be transferred into the first doped semiconductor material.
