An electrical junction is a point or area where multiple conductors or semiconductors make physical contact. Electrical junctions types include thermoelectricity junctions, metal–semiconductor junctions and p–n junctions. Junctions are either rectifying or non-rectifying. Non-rectifying junctions comprise ohmic contacts, which are characterised by a linear current–voltage ( $I--V$ ) relation. Electronic components employing rectifying junctions include p–n diodes, Schottky diodes and bipolar junction transistors.

-An '''electrical junction''' is a point or area where multiple conductors or semiconductors make physical contact. Electrical junctions types include [[thermoelectricity]] junctions, [[metal–semiconductor junction]]s and [[p–n junction]]s. Junctions are either [[rectifying]] or non-rectifying. Non-rectifying junctions are called [[ohmic contact]]s. [[Electronic component]]s employing rectifying junctions include [[p–n diode]]s, [[Schottky diode]]s and [[bipolar junction transistor]]s.
