Abstract
A method of fabricating a field effect transistor in which the gate electrode is formed in a multiple step recess including a first recess located on one level and a second recess located on a lower level. The second, narrower recess is nested in the first, wider recess. The method is initiated by growing a first semiconductor layer of a low etch rate on a semiconductor substrate. Then, a second semiconductor layer of a high etch rate is grown on the first semiconductor layer. A resist film having an opening in a selected location is formed on the second semiconductor layer. Using this resist film as a mask, the semiconductor layers are selectively etched. The gate electrode is formed at the bottom of the multiple step recess created by the etching.
