An electrode structure of compound semiconductor device. The compound semiconductor device has a substrate, an n-type layer over entire substrate, a mesa-like p-type layer on partial surface of the n-type layer, a transparent conductive layer on the mesa-like p-type layer; a p-contact formed on the transparent conductive layer and an n-contact formed on the exposed n-type layer. The n-contact comprises an enclosure portion compassing the p-contact, whereby the current flowed from the p-contact to the n-contact is uniform.

Electrode structure of compound semiconductor device

The present invention proposes a method of producing a gallium nitride-based III-V Group compound semiconductor device. First, beryllium ions are diffused into the p-type layer of gallium nitride to increase hole mobility. Contacts are then added in subsequent procedures, thereby forming contacts having low-impedance ohmic contact layers.
