Abstract

A semiconductor device 1 includes a substrate 2, an electron transit layer 4 disposed on the substrate 2, and an electron supply layer 5 disposed on the electron transit layer 4. The electron transitlayer 4 includes: a conductive path forming layer 43 that is in contact with the electron supply layer 5; a first semiconductor region (first nitride semiconductor layer) 41 that contains an acceptor-type impurity; and a second semiconductor region (second nitride semiconductor layer) 42 that is disposed at a position closer to the conductive path forming layer 43 than is the first semiconductor region 41, the second semiconductor region 42 containing anacceptor-type impurity. The acceptor density of the first semiconductor region 41 is greater than the acceptor density of the second semiconductor region 42.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, for example, to a nitride semiconductor device formed of a group III nitride semiconductor (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "nitride semiconductor"). Background technique [0002] The group III nitride semiconductor refers to a semiconductor using nitrogen as a group V element among group III-V semiconductors. Typical examples are aluminum nitride (AlN), gallium nitride (GaN), and indium nitride (InN). Generally can be expressed as Al x In y Ga 1-x-y N (0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, 0≦x+y≦1). [0003] A HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor; High Electron Mobility Transistor) using such a nitride semiconductor has been proposed. Such a HEMT includes, for example, an electron transport layer formed of GaN and an electron supply layer formed of epitaxially grown AlGaN on the electron transport layer. A pair of source and drain electrodes are formed so as to be in contact with the electron suppl...
