Abstract
An ohmic electrode structure includes an n-In,Ga,As layer where 0<x≦1; a Pt or Pd layer provided on the n-In,Ga,As layer; and at least one metal layer provided on the Pt or Pd layer. A semiconductor device includes a substrate; a first semiconductor layer having a p-type conductivity provided on the substrate; a second semiconductor layer having an n-type conductivity provided on the substrate; an ohmic contact layer provided on the first semiconductor layer; a barrier layer provided on the second semiconductor layer; a first electrode provided on the ohmic contact layer; and a second electrode provided on the barrier layer. The ohmic contact layer and the barrier layer are each formed of a material selected from the group consisting of Pt and Pd.
