This study investigates the behavior of quasi-ohmic contacts to GaAs:Cr structures and estimates certain material parameters. The analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the material and allows for the estimation of n0, Nt, and Et. The results show good agreement between different analyzing methods of I-V curves.
