Nonalloyed Ohmic contacts on Ga-face high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) structures typically have significant contact resistance to the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) due to the AlGaN barrier. By growing the HEMT structure inverted on the N-face, electrons from the contacts were able to access the 2DEG without going through an AlGaN layer. A low contact resistance of and specific contact resistivity of were achieved without contact annealing on the inverted HEMT structure.
