Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, a first lead, a second lead and a connection lead. The semiconductor element includes an electron transit layer formed of a nitride semiconductor, an element obverse face and an element reverse face that are arranged to face opposite to each other in a thickness direction, and a gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode that are disposed on the element obverse face. The drain electrode is bonded to the first lead. The source electrode is bonded to the second lead. The connection lead is connected to the second lead and disposed on the element reverse face so as to overlap with the semiconductor element as viewed in the thickness direction. The connection lead provides a conduction path for a principal current subjected to switching.
