Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming an electron transit layer; forming an electron supply layer; forming a protective film; forming a zinc oxide film; forming a sacrifice layer; forming a first opening and a second opening in the sacrifice layer and the zinc oxide film; forming a third opening connecting to the first opening and a fourth opening connecting to the second opening; forming, by acid treatment using a weakly acidic solution, a first gap in a first portion exposed to the first opening of the zinc oxide film, and a second gap in a second portion exposed to the second opening of the zinc oxide film; forming, after the acid treatment, a source region on a bottom surface of the third opening and a drain region on a bottom surface of the fourth opening; and removing the zinc oxide film.
