An apparatus includes a substrate, a Group III-nitride layer over the substrate, and an electrical contact over the Group III-nitride layer. The electrical contact includes a stack having multiple layers of conductive material, and at least one of the layers in the stack includes germanium. The layers in the stack may include a contact layer, where the contact layer includes aluminum copper. The stack could include a titanium or titanium alloy layer, an aluminum or aluminum alloy layer, and a germanium or germanium alloy layer. At least one of the layers in the stack could include an aluminum or titanium alloy having a germanium content between about 1% and about 5%.
