A generalization of the energy‐loss transport concept including carrier‐carrier scattering is applied to a periodic arrangement of pairs of conducting films. It is shown that for certain parameters a metal‐p‐semiconductor system should exhibit reversed transport (carrier‐drag) in the semiconductor, i. e. the holes move in the opposite direction relative to the external electric field.
