Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in the case of actually switching the HFET at high speed, switching noise due to surge voltage and current due to parasitic inductance is likely to occur
In addition, if the switching noise is transmitted to the gate wiring, there will be a problem of loss or element destruction due to malfunction of the HFET.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2012-68143 filed on March 23, 2012, the entire content of which is incorporated herein. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to nitride semiconductor devices. Background technique [0003] Power semiconductor elements such as switching elements and diodes are used in power conversion circuits such as switching power supplies and inverters. High withstand voltage and low on-resistance are required for this power semiconductor element. In addition, the relationship between withstand voltage and on-resistance has a trade-off relationship determined by the material of the element. Through the progress of technological development so far, in power semiconductor elements, the on-resistance has been reduced to near the limit of silicon, which is the main element material. [0004] In order to further reduce the on-resistance, it is necessary to change the material of the element. H...
