Abstract

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first element portion. The first element portion includes first and second semiconductor layers, first, second and third electrodes, and a first insulating layer. The first semiconductor layer includes AlGaN (0≤x1<1). The first electrode is separated from the first semiconductor layer. The first electrode includes a polycrystal of a nitride of one of Al or B. The second semiconductor layer includes AlGaN (x1<x2<1). The second semiconductor layer includes first to third regions. The first region is positioned between the second and third regions. The first region is provided between the first semiconductor layer and the first electrode. The first insulating layer is provided between the first region and the first electrode. The second electrode is electrically connected to the second region. The third electrode is electrically connected to the third region.
