Abstract
A nitride semiconductor device is provided, in which a superlattice strain buffer layer using AlGaN layers having a low Al content or GaN layers is formed with good flatness, and a nitride semiconductor layer with good flatness and crystallinity is formed on the superlattice strain buffer layer. A nitride semiconductor device includes a substrate; an AlN strain buffer layer made of AlN formed on the substrate; a superlattice strain buffer layer formed on the AlN strain buffer layer; and a nitride semiconductor layer formed on the superlattice strain buffer layer, and is characterized in that the superlattice strain buffer layer has a superlattice structure formed by alternately stacking first layers made of AlGaN (0≦x≦0.25), which further contain p-type impurity, and second layers made of AlN.
