First Claim
Patent Images
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
- a substrate;
at least one semiconducting layer comprising a nitride of a group 13 element on said substrate; and
an ohmic contact on the at least one semiconducting layer, said ohmic contact comprising a silicon-comprising portion on the at least one semiconducting layer and a metal portion adjacent to and extending over said silicon-comprising portion, the metal portion comprising titanium and a further metal, wherein the ohmic contact does not contain gold.

11. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:
-
providing a substrate having thereon at least one semiconducting layer comprising a nitride of a group 13 element; and forming an ohmic contact on the at least one semiconducting layer by; forming a silicon-comprising layer on the at least one semiconducting layer; patterning said silicon-comprising layer to form a silicon-comprising portion; forming a metal portion metal portion adjacent to and extending over said silicon-comprising portion by; depositing a metal portion comprising titanium and a further metal on the resultant structure said metal portion not containing gold; and patterning the metal portion and the patterned silicon-comprising layer using at least one etch recipe; and annealing the resultant structure to react the metal portion with silicon from the silicon-comprising layer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
