Zusammenfassung:A transistor device includes a semiconductor body and a non-ohmic contact on the semiconductor body. The non-ohmic contact includes a phonon scattering layer on the semiconductor body, a protection layer on a surface of the phonon scattering layer opposite the semiconductor body, and a contact layer on a surface of the protection layer opposite the phonon scattering layer. The phonon scattering layer has a work function in a range of about 4.5 eV to about 5.7 eV and a melting point in a range of about 1550° C. to about 3200° C.
