Doped zinc oxide and n-doping to reduce junction leakage
A semiconductor device includes a substrate and a p-doped layer including a doped III-V material on the substrate. An n-doped layer is formed on the p-doped layer, the n-doped layer including a doped III-V material. A contact interface layer is formed on the n-doped layer. The contact interface layer includes a II-VI material. A contact metal is formed on the contact interface layer to form an electronic device.
Gallium nitride-based compound semiconductor device
A GaN-based compound semiconductor device includes a GaN-based epitaxial structure and an annealed metal layered structure that is formed on the GaN-based epitaxial structure. The annealed metal layered structure includes a metallic barrier layer, a conductive unit, and a protective unit which is formed on a lateral surface of the conductive unit. The metallic barrier layer and the conductive unit are sequentially disposed on the GaN-based epitaxial structure in such order. An ohmic contact is formed between the GaN-based epitaxial structure and the annealed metal layered structure. The protective unit includes a metal oxide material having one of NiAlO, AuAlO, and a combination thereof.
