Characteristics of a semiconductor device are improved. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device of the invention includes a step of forming a gate insulating film over a nitride semiconductor layer. The step includes steps of forming a crystalline AlOfilm on the nitride semiconductor layer, forming a SiOfilm on the AlOfilm, and forming an amorphous AlOfilm on the SiOfilm. The step further includes steps of performing heat treatment on the amorphous AlOto crystallize the amorphous AlO, thereby forming a crystalline AlOfilm, and forming a SiOfilm on the crystalline AlOfilm. In this way, since a film stack, which is formed by alternately stacking the crystalline AlOfilms and the SiOfilms from a bottom side, is used as the gate insulating film, threshold voltage can be cumulatively increased.
