  • Patent number: 11929407
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a HEMT includes the following steps. A substrate having a group III-V channel layer, a group III-V barrier layer, a group III-V gate layer, and a gate etch stop layer disposed thereon is provided. A passivation layer is formed to cover the group III-V barrier layer and the gate etch stop layer. A gate contact hole and at least one source/drain contact hole are formed in the passivation layer, where the gate contact hole exposes the gate etch stop layer, and the at least one source/drain contact hole exposes the group III-V channel layer. In addition, a conductive layer is conformally disposed on a top surface of the passivation layer and in the gate contact hole and the at least one source/drain contact hole.
