Abstract
A nitride semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a buffer layer formed on the substrate; a laminated body formed by two or more cycles of semiconductor layers each including a first nitride semiconductor layer, and a second nitride semiconductor layer having a larger band gap than a band gap of the first nitride semiconductor layer, the first and second nitride semiconductor layers being laminated in this order on the buffer layer; a first electrode; and a second electrode. A channel layer is formed in each of the semiconductor layers at an interface between the first nitride semiconductor layer and the second nitride semiconductor layer. A carrier concentration of the channel layer in the uppermost semiconductor layer is lower than a carrier concentration of each of the channel layers of the other semiconductor layers.
