Abstract

A high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) includes a first III-V compound layer. A second III-V compound layer is disposed on the first III-V compound layer and is different from the first III-V compound layer in composition. A carrier channel is located between the first III-V compound layer and the second III-V compound layer. A salicide source feature and a salicide drain feature are in contact with the first III-V compound layer through the second III-V compound layer. A gate electrode is disposed over a portion of the second III-V compound layer between the salicide source feature and the salicide drain feature.
