Semiconductor device, semiconductor component and display panel including the same

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device including a semiconductor structure, a first metal element-containing structure, and a layer. The semiconductor structure includes a first semiconductor layer having a first material, a second semiconductor layer, an active region between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer. The first metal element-containing structure is located on the semiconductor structure and includes a first metal element. The layer has a second material and a second metal element and is located between the first semiconductor layer and the first metal element-containing structure. The first material has a conduction band edge Ec and a valence band edge Ev, and the second material has a work function WF1, when the first semiconductor layer is of an n-type conductivity, the work function WF1 fulfills WF1<(Ec+Ev)/2, and when the first semiconductor layer is of a p-type conductivity, the work function WF1 fulfills WF1>(Ec+Ev)/2.
