Abstract In this paper, electrical contact surfaces are investigated to predict and visualize the contact length, contact pressure and indentation depth under applied force. CNT-CNT, Au-CNT, Au Au, and Au/CNT-Au/CNT contact pairs have been considered for the analysis. Finite Element Modeling (FEM) and analysis is carried out for 2D, semi-circle-square microelectrical contact using COMSOL multiphysics simulation tool. Predicted values are compared with the Hertz model analytical calculations. Contact length and indentation depth of Au/CNT-Au/CNT>Au-Au>Au-CNT>CNT-CNT on the application of force. Also the contact pressure of Au/CNT-Au/CNT
