A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate of a compound semiconductor material; a buffer layer, a channel layer, and a Schottky junction forming layer sequentially disposed on the semiconductor substrate, the buffer layer, the channel layer, and the Schottky junction forming layer each being compound semiconductor materials; a source electrode and a drain electrode located on the Schottky junction forming layer; and a gate electrode disposed between the source and drain electrodes and forming a Schottky junction with the Schottky junction forming layer. The carrier density in the channel layer varies with distance from a top surface of the channel layer and is inversely proportional to the third power of depth into the channel layer from the top surface of the channel layer. The buffer layer has a lower electron affinity than the channel layer and is a different compound semiconductor material from the channel layer.
