As GaN technology continues to gain popularity, it is necessary to control the ohmic contact properties and to improve device consistency across the whole wafer. In this paper, we use a range of submicron characterization tools to understand the conduction mechanisms through the AlGaN/GaN ohmic contact. Our results suggest that there is a direct path for electron flow between the two dimensional electron gas and the contact pad. The estimated area of these highly conductive pillars is around 5% of the total contact area.
