Abstract
According to one embodiment, a nitride semiconductor device includes a foundation layer and a functional layer. The foundation layer is formed on an Al-containing nitride semiconductor layer formed on a silicon substrate. The foundation layer has a thickness not less than 1 micrometer and including GaN. The functional layer is provided on the foundation layer. The functional layer includes a first semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor layer has an impurity concentration higher than an impurity concentration in the foundation layer and includes GaN of a first conductivity type.
