Abstract
A compound semiconductor device has a buffer layer formed on a conductive SiC substrate, an AlxGa1-xN layer formed on the buffer layer in which an impurity for reducing carrier concentration from an unintentionally doped donor impurity is added and in which the Al composition x is 0<x<1, a GaN-based carrier transit layer formed on the AlxGa1-xN layer, a carrier supply layer formed on the carrier transit layer, a source electrode and a drain electrode formed on the carrier supply layer, and a gate electrode formed on the carrier supply layer between the source electrode and the drain electrode. Therefore, a GaN-HEMT that is superior in device characteristics can be realized in the case of using a relatively less expensive conductive SiC substrate compared with a semi-insulating SiC substrate.
