Abstract

A method of forming a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) includes epitaxially growing a second III-V compound layer on a first III-V compound layer. The method further includes partially etching the second III-V compound layer to form two through holes in the second III-V compound layer. Additionally, the method includes forming a silicon feature in each of two through holes. Furthermore, the method includes depositing a metal layer on each silicon feature. Moreover, the method includes annealing the metal layer and each silicon feature to form corresponding salicide source/drain features. The method also includes forming a gate electrode over the second III-V compound layer between the salicide source/drain features.
