    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a two-dimensional carrier gas (2DCG) semiconductor device comprising an ohmic source/drain electrode with a plurality of protrusions separated by gaps and protruding from a bottom surface of the ohmic source/drain electrode. The ohmic source/drain electrode overlies a semiconductor film, and the protrusions extend from the bottom surface into the semiconductor film. Further, the ohmic source/drain electrode is separated from another ohmic source/drain electrode that also overlies the semiconductor film. The semiconductor film comprises a channel layer and a barrier layer that are vertically stacked and directly contact at a heterojunction. The channel layer accommodates a 2DCG that extends along the heterojunction and is ohmically coupled to the ohmic source/drain electrode and the other ohmic source/drain electrode. A gate electrode overlies the semiconductor film between the ohmic source/drain electrode and the other source/drain electrode.
