Abstract
Affords Group III nitride semiconductor devices in which the leakage current from the Schottky electrode can be reduced. In a high electron mobility transistor, a supporting substrateis composed of AlN, AlGaN, or GaN, specifically. An AlGaN epitaxial layerhas a full-width-at-half maximum of (0002) plane XRD of 150 sec or less. A GaN epitaxial layeris provided between the gallium nitride supporting substrate and the AlGaN epitaxial layer (0<Y≦1). A Schottky electrodeis provided on the AlGaN epitaxial layer. The Schottky electrodeconstitutes a gate electrode of the high electron mobility transistor. The source electrodeis provided on the gallium nitride epitaxial layer. The drain electrodeis provided on the gallium nitride epitaxial layer
