Abstract
To provide a nitride semiconductor device excellent in switching characteristics. A nitride semiconductor device includes: a gallium nitride layer having a first principal surface and a second principal surface located on an opposite side to the first principal surface and having a trench formed from the first principal surface to the second principal surface side; and a field effect transistor formed in the gallium nitride layer, wherein the trench has a first side surface and a second side surface inside the trench, the first side surface is a nitrogen face in the surface layer of which nitrogen atoms are located, the second side surface is a gallium face in the surface layer of which gallium atoms are located, and the field effect transistor has: a gate insulating film formed on the first side surface; and a gate electrode formed in the trench and covering the gate insulating film.
