Abstract
There is provided a semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the same whose withstanding characteristic may be enhanced and whose ON resistance may be reduced. A MIS-type HEMT includes a carrier traveling layer made of a group-III nitride semiconductor and formed on a supporting substrate, a carrier supplying layer made of a group-III nitride semiconductor and formed on the carrier traveling layer, source and drain electrodes formed on the carrier supplying layer, insulating films formed on the carrier supplying layer and a gate electrode formed on the insulating films. The insulating film is formed in a region interposed between the source and drain electrodes and has a trench whose cross-section is inverted trapezoidal and whose upper opening is wider than a bottom thereof. The gate electrode is formed at least from the bottom of the trench onto the insulating films on the side of the drain electrode.
