Pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor with low contact resistance
In certain aspects, a pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) comprises a substrate layer, a bottom barrier layer on the substrate layer, a channel layer on the bottom barrier layer, an upper barrier on the channel layer, and a source and a drain on the upper barrier layer. The source and the drain each has a cap layer, an Ohmic contact layer on the cap layer, and a metal contact layer on the Ohmic contact layer. The Ohmic contact layer has a smaller bandgap than the cap layer. The pHEMT further comprises a gate metal stack on the upper barrier layer.
