Abstract
An embodiment of a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate that includes a host substrate, a buffer layer that includes at least one additional layer formed over the substrate, a channel layer formed over the buffer layer, a barrier layer formed over the channel layer forming a channel, a gate electrode disposed over the substrate electrically coupled to the channel, and an ohmic contact recessed into the barrier layer. A method for fabricating the semiconductor device includes forming a semiconductor substrate that includes a mixed crystal layer, creating an isolation region that defines an active region along an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate, forming a gate electrode over the semiconductor substrate in the active region, and recessing an ohmic contact into the semiconductor substrate.
