Abstract

Provided is an epitaxial substrate capable of manufacturing a HEMT device that has excellent two-dimensional electron gas characteristics and is capable of performing normally-off operation. A channel layer is formed of a first group III nitride represented by InAlGaN (x1+y1+z1=1) so as to have a composition in a range determined by x1=0 and 0≦y1≦0.3. A barrier layer is formed of a second group III nitride represented by InAlGaN (x2+y2+z2=1) so as to have a composition, in a ternary phase diagram with InN, AlN and GaN being vertices, in a range surrounded by four straight lines determined in accordance with the composition (AlN molar fraction) of the first group III nitride and to have a thickness of 5 nm or less.
