Abstract

A III-V field effect transistor includes a semiconductor channel layer having an electrically conducting channel and an ohmic contact layer on the semiconductor channel layer. The ohmic contact layer has a recess structure disposed therethrough to the semiconductor channel layer. The bottom of the ohmic contact layer includes an etch stop layer including Aluminum and Phosphorous and defining the shape of the recess at its junction with the semiconductor channel layer.
