Ohmic contact for nitride-based semiconductor device

摘要

An improved ohmic contact for a nitride-based semiconductor device is provided. In particular, a semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the semiconductor device are provided in which a semiconductor structure has an ohmic contact that includes a contact layer and a metal layer thereon. The contact layer includes at least Aluminum (Al) and Indium (In), and can further include Gallium (Ga) and/or Nitrogen (N). The molar fraction of Al and/or In can be increased/decreased within the contact layer.
