More specifically, an AlGaN / GaN HEMT includes: a compound semiconductor layered structure; and an interlayer insulating film that covers a surface of the compound semiconductor layered structure, the interlayer insulating film including a first insulating film and a second insulating film that is formed on the first insulating film to fill irregularities on a surface of the first insulating film and has a flat surface.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments discussed herein relate to compound semiconductor devices and methods of making the same. Background technique [0002] Application of nitride semiconductors to semiconductor devices with high withstand voltage and high output power is considered by taking advantage of characteristics such as high saturation electron velocity and wide bandgap. For example, GaN, which is a nitride semiconductor, has a band gap of 3.4eV, which is larger than that of Si (1.1eV) and GaAs (1.4eV), so GaN has a high breakdown electric field strength. Accordingly, GaN is highly expected to be used as a material of a semiconductor device for a power supply that obtains high-voltage operation and high output power. [0003] As semiconductor devices using nitride semiconductors, many reports have been made on field effect transistors, especially high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). For example, among GaN-based HEMTs (GaN-HEMTs), AlGaN / GaN HEMTs that use GaN ...
