Abstract

An embodiment of the disclosure includes a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes a first III-V compound layer. A second III-V compound layer is disposed on the first III-V compound layer and different from the first III-V compound layer in composition. An interface is defined between the first III-V compound layer and the second III-V compound layer. A gate is disposed on the second III-V compound layer. A source feature and a drain feature are disposed on opposite side of the gate. Each of the source feature and the drain feature includes a corresponding metal feature at least partially embedded in the second III-V compound layer. A corresponding intermetallic compound underlies each metal feature. Each intermetallic compound contacts a carrier channel located at the interface.
