A low contact resistance semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a semiconductor stacked layer, a low contact resistance layer and a transparent conductive layer. The low contact resistance layer is formed on one side of a P-type GaN layer of the semiconductor stacked layer. The low contact resistance layer is formed at a thickness smaller than 100 Angstroms and made of a material selected from the group consisting of aluminum, gallium, indium, and combinations thereof. Through the low contact resistance layer, the resistance between the P-type GaN layer and transparent conductive layer can be reduced and light emission efficiency can be improved when being used on LEDs. The method of fabricating the low contact resistance semiconductor structure of the invention forms a thin and consistent low contact resistance layer through a Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) method to enhance matching degree among various layers.
