Abstract
A nitride semiconductor device includes a first nitride semiconductor layer formed on a substrate, a defect induced layer formed on the first nitride semiconductor layer, and a second nitride semiconductor layer formed on the defect induced layer, contacting the defect induced layer, and having an opening through which the defect induced layer is exposed. The defect induced layer has a higher crystal defect density than those of the first and second nitride semiconductor layers.
