Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a barrier layer, a channel layer, a regrowth layer, a vacancy generation region, and a source electrode or a drain electrode. The barrier layer includes a first nitride semiconductor. The channel layer includes a second nitride semiconductor and is bonded to the barrier layer at a first surface. The regrowth layer includes an n-type nitride semiconductor and is provided in a region dug deeper than an interface between the barrier layer and the channel layer from a second surface of the barrier layer. The second surface is on opposite side to the first surface. The vacancy generation region includes a nitrogen-capturing element and is provided in a region of the regrowth layer shallower than the interface between the barrier layer and the channel layer. The source electrode or the drain electrode is provided on the regrowth layer.
