Barrier properties of a promising conjugated polymer, poly(N-methylpyrrole) (PMPY) with high- and low-work-function metals, gold and indium respectively, have been investigated. The electrical conductivity of PMPY films was varied from insulating to metallic levels by electrochemical oxidation I-V characteristics were used to investigate the function properties. Heavily doped PMPY<sup>+</sup> films were found to form an Ohmic contact with gold ( phi <sub>Au</sub>=5.1 eV) and a Schottky barrier with indium ( phi <sub>In</sub>=4.1 eV), this difference corresponding to the difference in work functions. Results indicate a leaky Schottky barrier with high fields producing InJ varies as V<sup>1/2</sup> and are interpreted in terms of metal-semiconductor band theory.
