Patent ID: 10475964

Abstract:
Provided is a method of producing an n-type ohmic electrode that can form a good ohmic contact with an n-type AlxGa1-xN (0.5≤x≤1) layer. The method of producing an n-type ohmic electrode includes: a first step of forming a first layer 11 made of one of Ti and Hf on a surface of a layer 30; a second step of forming a second layer 12 made of Sn on the surface of the first layer 11; a third step of forming a third layer 13 made of one of V and Mo on the surface of the second layer 12; a fourth step of forming a fourth layer 14 made of Al on the surface of the third layer 13; and a fifth step of performing heat treatment on the first layer 11, the second layer 12, the third layer 13, and the fourth layer 14.
