Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a first GaN layer on the substrate and containing carbon; a second GaN layer on the first GaN layer and containing transition metal and carbon; a third GaN layer on the second GaN layer and containing transition metal and carbon; and an electron supply layer on the third GaN layer and having a larger band gap than GaN. A transition metal concentration of the third GaN layer gradually decreases from that of the second GaN layer from the second GaN layer toward the electron supply layer and is higher than 1×10cmat a position of 100 nm deep from a bottom end of the electron supply layer. A top end of the second GaN layer is deeper than 800 nm from the bottom end. A carbon concentration of the third GaN layer is lower than those of the first and second GaN layers.
