Abstract
To realize a transistor of normally-off type having a high mobility and a high breakdown voltage. A compound semiconductor layer is formed over a substrate, has both a concentration of p-type impurities and a concentration of n-type impurities less than 1×10/cm, and includes a group III nitride compound. A well is a p-type impurity layer and formed in the compound semiconductor layer. A source region is formed within the well and is an n-type impurity layer. A low-concentration n-type region is formed in the compound semiconductor layer and is linked to the well. A drain region is formed in the compound semiconductor layer and is located on a side opposite to the well via the low-concentration n-type region. The drain region is an n-type impurity layer.
