Abstract
A nitride semiconductor device of the present invention has a source-electrode-side insulator protection film layer disposed between a source electrode and a drain electrode on a second nitride semiconductor layer and formed at least partially covering the source electrode, a drain-electrode-side insulator protection film layer disposed separately from the source-electrode-side insulator protection film layer and formed at least partially covering the drain electrode, and a gate layer formed in contact with the second nitride semiconductor layer between the source-electrode-side insulator protection film layer and the drain-electrode-side insulator protection film layer and made of a p-type metal oxide semiconductor, and the gate layer has regions opposite to the second nitride semiconductor layer across each of the source-electrode-side insulator protection film layer and the drain-electrode-side insulator protection film layer and a region in contact with the second nitride semiconductor layer.
