ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device has a current spreading layer between a semiconductor material and an electrode for connecting the semiconductor material to an electrical power supply. The current spreading layer has two or more sub-layers of a first conductive material with patterned regions of a second conductive material distributed between the sub-layers for spreading an electrical current passing between the electrode and the semiconductor material. The second material has an ohmic resistance lower than the first material.
