The microstructure of Ni/Si-based contacts to GaN has been studied using transmission electron microscopy methods. The transition from non-ohmic to ohmic behavior appears to correlate with the initial limited reaction of GaN with Ni and further Si-Ni reaction-driven decomposition of the interfacial GaN-Ni phase.
