Abstract
A semiconductor device comprises an AlN layer, a GaN layer, and an AlGaN layer sequentially formed on a semiconductor substrate. A first opening extends through said GaN layer and said AlGaN layer and exposes part of an upper surface of the AlN layer. A second opening extends through the semiconductor substrate and exposes a part of a lower surface of the AlN layer, in a location facing the first opening. A upper electrode is exposed on an upper surface of the AlN layer in the first opening; and a lower electrode is disposed on a lower surface of the AlN layer in the second opening.
