Abstract
According to one embodiment, a nitride semiconductor element includes a functional layer and a stacked body. The stacked body includes a GaN intermediate layer, a low Al composition layer, a high Al composition layer, and a first Si-containing layer. The low Al composition layer includes a nitride semiconductor having a first Al composition ratio. The low Al composition layer is provided between the GaN intermediate layer and the functional layer. The high Al composition layer includes a nitride semiconductor having a second Al composition ratio. The high Al composition layer is provided between the GaN intermediate layer and the low Al composition layer. The second Al composition ratio is higher than the first Al composition ratio. The first Si-containing layer is provided between the GaN intermediate layer and the high Al composition layer.
