To suppress adverse affect caused by dopant in a conductive semiconductor layer in a GaN-based device having a structure in which the conductive semiconductor layer is inserted between a substrate and an active layer. In an HEMT device 10, n-GaN (n-type GaN wafer) is used as a substrate 11. A p-type GaN layer (conductive semiconductor layer) 12 is formed on the substrate 11 for the purpose of reducing a leak current and suppressing current collapse, etc. A non-doped AlN layer (semi-insulating semiconductor layer) 13 is formed on the p-type GaN layer 12, and a channel layer (active layer) 14 formed of semi-insulating GaN and an electron supply layer (active layer) 15 formed of n-AlGaN are sequentially formed by the MBE method, MOVPE method, or the like.
