Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a gate electrode including a junction portion forming a Schottky junction with a barrier layer; a projecting portion including first and second gate field plates and projecting from the junction portion; and an insulating layer including first and second sidewalls. An angle formed between a highest position of a bottom surface of the first gate field plate and a main surface of a substrate, viewed from the first position, is a second elevation angle. An angle formed between an end on the drain electrode side of a lowest portion of a bottom surface of the second gate field plate and the main surface, viewed from the first position, is a third elevation angle. The second elevation angle is larger than the third elevation angle. The bottom surface of the second gate field plate includes an inclined surface where a distance from the barrier layer monotonically increases.
