Abstract
According to one embodiment a nitride semiconductor device includes a first, a second and a third semiconductor layer, a first and a second main electrode and a control electrode. The first layer made of a nitride semiconductor of a first conductivity type is provided on a substrate. The second layer made of a nitride semiconductor of a second conductivity type is provided on the first layer. The third layer made of a nitride semiconductor is provided on the second layer. The first electrode is electrically connected with the second layer. The second electrode is provided at a distance from the first electrode and electrically connected with the second layer. The control electrode is provided within a first trench via an insulating film. The first trench is disposed between the first and the second main electrodes, penetrates the third and the second layers, and reaches the first layer.
