Thickener powder for a lithium-ion battery of the present invention is thickener powder that is used to thicken a water-based electrode slurry for a lithium-ion battery, the thickener powder includes a cellulose-based water-soluble polymer, and a content of a water-insoluble component in the thickener powder, which is calculated from Condition 1, is equal to or less than 1.0% by mass. (Condition 1: The thickener powder is dissolved in water, thereby obtaining a thickener aqueous solution having a concentration of 1.3% by mass. Next, the thickener aqueous solution is filtered using a filter having an average pore diameter of 1 &#x3bc;m. Next, the water-insoluble component remaining on the filter is dried, and a mass of the water-insoluble component is measured. Next, the content of the water-insoluble component in the thickener powder is calculated.)

An electrode comes in ohmic contact with an AlGaN layer. A semiconductor device SD has a nitride semiconductor layer GN, and an AlGaN layer AGN (hereinafter referred to as 'AlGaN layer AGN), and Al electrodes DE, SE. in the AlGaN layer AGN, 0&#x3c;x&#x2264;0.2 is satisfied. Also, both of a concentration of a p-type impurity and a concentration of an n-type impurity in the AlGaN layer AGN are 1&#xd7;10cmor lower. In this example, the p-type impurity is exemplified by, for example, Be, C, and Mg, and the n-type impurity is exemplified by Si, S, and Se. Also, the Al electrodes DE and SE are connected to the AlGaN layer AGN. Because a composition ratio of Al is limited to the above-mentioned range, the Al electrodes DE and SE are brought into ohmic contact with the AlGaN layer AGN.

Characteristics of a semiconductor device are improved. A semiconductor device includes a potential fixing layer, a channel underlayer, a channel layer, and a barrier layer formed above a substrate, a trench that penetrates the barrier layer and reaches as far as a middle of the channel layer, a gate electrode disposed by way of an insulation film in the trench, and a source electrode and a drain electrode formed respectively over the barrier layer on both sides of the gate electrode. A coupling portion inside the through hole that reaches as far as the potential fixing layer electrically couples the potential fixing layer and the source electrode. This can reduce fluctuation of the characteristics such as a threshold voltage and an on-resistance.
