Abstract
A semiconductor device (e.g., hetero-junction field-effect transistor) which has decreased capacitance between the gate and drain, and which has decreased source resistance, is provided. Structure in which a contact layer 6 comes in contact with the side surfaces of a channel layer 3 but does not come in contact with the side surfaces of a barrier layer 4 enables capacitance between the gate and drain to be decreased. This capacitance can be decreased down to 1.5 pF per 10 .mu.m of the width.
