Abstract
A compound semiconductor device includes: a compound semiconductor layer; and a gate electrode formed above the compound semiconductor layer; and a source electrode and a drain electrode formed on both sides of the gate electrode, on the compound semiconductor layer, wherein the source electrode has a plurality of bottom surfaces along transit electrons out of contact surfaces with the compound semiconductor layer, and the plural bottom surfaces are located at different distances from the transit electrons, with the bottom surface closer to the gate electrode being more apart from the transit electrons.
