This work investigates the conduction mechanism of non-gold Ta/Si/Ti/Al/Ni/Ta ohmic contact in un-doped AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) grown on Si. Temperature-dependent current–voltage (I–V) measurements reveal that the conduction occurs primarily via thermionic emission (TE)....
