摘要:
A semiconductor device has a satisfactory ohmic contact on a p-type principal surface tilting from a c-plane. The principal surface 13a of a p-type semiconductor region 13 extends along a plane tilting from a c-axis (axis ) of hexagonal group-III nitride. A metal layer 15 is deposited on the principal surface 13a of the p-type semiconductor region 13. The metal layer 15 and the p-type semiconductor region 13 are separated by an interface 17 such that the metal layer functions as a non-alloy electrode. Since the hexagonal group-III nitride contains gallium as a group-III element, the principal surface 13a comprising the hexagonal group-III nitride is more susceptible to oxidation compared to the c-plane of the hexagonal group-III nitride. The interface 17 avoids an increase in amount of oxide after the formation of the metal layer 15 for the electrode.
