“…More recently, promising approaches using Ni-based alloys such as Ni-La, Ni-Zn, Ni-Mg, and Ni-Cu produced very low specific contact resistivity in 10 −5 ∼10 −6 cm 2 range, depending on metal schemes [15][16][17][18]. From those approaches, Ni/Au is although being used as p-contact electrode for conventional InGaN/GaN LEDs, various Pt-and Pd-based ohmic contact such as Pt/Ni/Au, Pt/Ru, Pt, Pt/Au, Ti/Pt/Au, Pd/Au, Pd/Ni, Pd/Pt/Au, Pt/Pd/Au, and Pd/Ag/Au/Ti/Au also have been investigated significantly due to the fact that those metals have large work functions and easily react with gallium during an annealing process [7,13,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. The specific contact resistivities of both the Pt-and Pd-based ohmic contacts are typically in the range of low 10 −3 ∼10 −5 cm 2 .…”
