Abstract
In a semiconductor device using a nitride semiconductor, a MISFET is prevented from having deteriorated controllability which will otherwise occur when a tungsten film, which configures a gate electrode of the MISFET, has a tensile stress. A gate electrode of a MISFET having an AlGN/GaN heterojunction is formed from a tungsten film having grains with a relatively small grain size and having no tensile stress. The grain size of the grains of the tungsten film is smaller than that of the grains of a barrier metal film configuring the gate electrode and formed below the tungsten film.
