Wide bandgap semiconductor devices are fabricated by providing a wide bandgap semiconductor layer, providing a plurality of recesses in the wide bandgap semiconductor layer, and providing a metal gate contact in the plurality of recesses. A protective layer may be provided on the wide bandgap semiconductor layer, the protective layer having a first opening extending therethrough, a dielectric layer may be provided on the protective layer, the dielectric layer having a second opening extending therethrough that is narrower than the first opening, and a gate contact may be provided in the first and second openings. The metal gate contact may be provided to include a barrier metal layer in the plurality of recesses, and a current spreading layer on the barrier metal layer remote from the wide bandgap semiconductor layer. Related devices and fabrication methods are also discussed. |
