Claim 15:
16. The process of claim 13, further comprising:
forming a barrier layer before forming the first film;
forming a dielectric layer over the silicon nitride layer;
defining a gate contact opening extending through the dielectric layer and the silicon nitride layer to expose the gate electrode;
defining a source contact opening extending through the dielectric layer to expose the barrier layer;
forming a source interconnect that extends into the source contact opening and contacts a surface of the barrier layer to form an ohmic contact;
defining a drain contact opening extending through the dielectric layer to expose the barrier layer; and
forming a drain interconnect that extends into the drain contact opening and contacts the surface of the barrier layer to form an ohmic contact.
