III-V COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE HAVING METAL CONTACTS AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate; a channel layer of at least a first III-V semiconductor compound above the semiconductor substrate; a gate stack structure above a first portion of the channel layer; a source region and a drain region comprising at least a second III-V semiconductor compound above a second portion of the channel layer; and a first metal contact structure above the S/D regions comprising a first metallic contact layer contacting the S/D regions. The first metallic contact layer comprises at least one metal-III-V semiconductor compound.
