Abstract: A high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) includes a substrate, a P-type III-V composition layer, a gate electrode and a carbon containing layer. The P-type III-V composition layer is disposed on the substrate, and the gate electrode is disposed on the P-type III-V composition layer. The carbon containing layer is disposed under the P-type III-V composition layer to function like an out diffusion barrier for preventing from the dopant within the P-type III-V composition layer diffusing into the stacked layers underneath during the annealing process.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of a semiconductor structure includes the following steps. A patterned mask layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. An isolation trench is formed in the semiconductor substrate by removing a part of the semiconductor substrate. A liner layer is conformally formed on an inner sidewall of the isolation trench. An implantation process is performed to the liner layer. The implantation process includes a noble gas implantation process. An isolation structure is at least partially formed in the isolation trench after the implantation process. An etching process is performed to remove the patterned mask layer after forming the isolation structure and expose a top surface of the semiconductor substrate. A part of the liner layer formed on the inner sidewall of the isolation trench is removed by the etching process. The implantation process is configured to modify the etch rate of the liner layer in the etching process.
