Abstract

High electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) including lightly doped drain (LDD) regions and methods of manufacturing the same. A HEMT includes a source, a drain, a gate, a channel supplying layer for forming at least a 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel, and a channel formation layer in which at least the 2DEG channel is formed. The channel supplying layer includes a plurality of semiconductor layers having different polarizabilities. A portion of the channel supplying layer is recessed. One of the plurality of semiconductor layers, which is positioned below an uppermost layer is an etching buffer layer, as well as a channel supplying layer.
