Abstract
An ohmic contact for a multiple channel FET comprises a plurality of slit-shaped recesses in a wafer on which a multiple channel FET resides, with each recess having a depth at least equal to the depth of the lowermost channel layer. Ohmic metals in and on the sidewalls of each recess provide ohmic contact to each of the multiple channel layers. An ohmic metal-filled linear connecting recess contiguous with the outside edge of each recess may be provided, as well as an ohmic metal contact layer on the top surface of the wafer over and in contact with the ohmic metals in each of the recesses. The present ohmic contact typically serves as a source and/or drain contact for the multiple channel FET. Also described is the use of a regrown material to make ohmic contact with multiple channels, with the regrown material preferably having a corrugated structure.
