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.
