Compound semiconductor device

摘要

A compound semiconductor device includes: an electron transit layer made of GaN; a channel layer made of AlGaN; a source electrode, a gate electrode and a drain electrode that are provided on the channel layer; a cap layer that is provided at least between the source electrode and the gate electrode and between the gate electrode and the drain electrode and is made of GaN; a recess portion that is provided in the cap layer between the gate electrode and the drain electrode; and a thick portion that is provided in the cap layer between the recess portion and the drain electrode and has a thickness larger than the recess portion.
