Problems solved by technology

[0005] In GaN-HEMTs, the following current collapse phenomenon is regarded as a problem: electrons are trapped in the device, which interferes with the flow of 2DEG and reduces the output current
However, for the protective film covering the gate electrode, any technology useful for suppressing the occurrence of current collapse has not been developed so far.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments discussed herein relate to a compound semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same. Background technique [0002] It has been considered to apply nitride semiconductors to semiconductor devices with high withstand voltage and high output power by utilizing characteristics such as high saturation electron velocity and wide band gap. For example, the band gap of GaN, which is a nitride semiconductor, is 3.4 eV (electron volts), which is larger than that of Si (1.1 eV) and GaAs (1.4 eV), and thus GaN has a high breakdown electric field strength. Therefore, GaN is highly promising as a material for semiconductor devices for power supplies that realize high-voltage operation and high output power. [0003] As semiconductor devices using nitride semiconductors, there have been numerous reports on field effect transistors, especially high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). For example, among GaN-based HEMTs (GaN-HEMTs), AlGaN / ...
