Original Abstract Submitted
A nitride semiconductor device includes a first nitride semiconductor layer that constitutes an electron transit layer, a second nitride semiconductor layer that is formed on the first nitride semiconductor layer, is larger in bandgap than the first nitride semiconductor layer, and constitutes an electron supply layer, and a gate portion that is formed on the second nitride semiconductor layer. The gate portion includes a first semiconductor gate layer of a ridge shape that is disposed on the second nitride semiconductor layer and is constituted of a nitride semiconductor containing an acceptor type impurity, a second semiconductor gate layer that is formed on the first semiconductor gate layer and is constituted of a nitride semiconductor with a larger bandgap than the first semiconductor gate layer, and a gate electrode that is formed on the second semiconductor gate layer and is in Schottky junction with the second semiconductor gate layer.
