A method of fabricating a high electron mobility transistor is disclosed. The method comprises using an ion implantation process to amorphize a portion of the barrier layer to a specific depth. The etch rate of this amorphized portion is much faster than that of the rest of the barrier layer. In this way, the depth of the recessed regions into which the source and drain contacts are disposed is more tightly controlled. Further, the etching process may be a wet or dry etch process. The roughness of the recessed region may also be improved using this approach.
