Abstract
A nitride semiconductor device includes: a substrate; an n-type drift layer; a p-type blocking layer; a gate opening which penetrates through the blocking layer to the drift layer; an electron transport layer and an electron supply layer provided on an inner face of the gate opening; a gate electrode above the electron supply layer and covering the gate opening; a source opening penetrating through the electron supply layer and the electron transport layer to the blocking layer; a source electrode covering the source opening, the source electrode being connected to the electron supply layer, the electron transport layer, and the blocking layer; and a drain electrode on a side of the substrate opposite from a side on which the blocking layer is located. A bottom face of the gate electrode is closer to the drain electrode than a bottom face of the blocking layer is.
