Abstract

In one embodiment, a high electron mobility device structure includes heterostructure with a Group III-nitride channel layer and a Group III-nitride barrier layer that forms a two-dimensional electron gas layer at an interface between the two layers. At least one current carrying electrode includes a recess-structured conductive contact adjoining and making Ohmic contact with the two-dimensional electron gas layer. The recess-structured conductive contact has at least one side surface defined to have a rounded wavy shape.
