Abstract
According to one embodiment, a nitride semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor layer having a heterojunction, a second semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor layer and having another heterojunction, a drain electrode on the second semiconductor layer, a source electrode provided on the first semiconductor layer, a gate electrode provided on the first semiconductor layer between the drain electrode and the source electrode, and a first insulating film between the gate electrode and the drain electrode covering the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer. The second semiconductor layer being separated from the gate electrode by a portion of the insulating film. A distance from the second semiconductor layer to the gate electrode is shorter than a distance from the drain electrode to the gate electrode.
