Abstract
A HEMT made of nitride semiconductor materials and a process of forming the same are disclosed, where the HEMT has n-type regions beneath the source and drain electrodes with remarkably increased carrier concentration. The HEMT provides the n-type regions made of at least one of epitaxially grown ZnO layer and MgZnO layer each doped with at least aluminum and gallium with density higher than 1×10cm. The process of forming the HEMT includes steps of forming recesses by dry-etching, epitaxially growing n-type layer, removing surplus n-type layer except within the recesses by dry-etching using hydrocarbon, and forming the electrodes on the n-type layer.
