Compound semiconductor device and manufacturing method therefor

摘要

An HEMT includes, on an SiC substrate (1), a compound semiconductor layer (2), a silicon nitride (SiN) protective film (6) having an opening (6b) and covering the compound semiconductor layer, and a gate electrode (7) formed on the compound semiconductor layer so as to plug the opening. In the protective film, a projecting portion projecting from a side surface of the opening is formed at a lower layer portion (6a).
