A semiconductor device of the present invention comprises Al0.3Ga0.7N layer 4 and Al0.1Ga0.9N layer 5 having different Al contents as an electron supply layer on GaN layer 6 serving as an active layer. An area where Al0.3Ga0.7N layer 4 is formed is used as a low resistance area, while an area where Al0.1Ga0.9N layer 5 is formed is used as a high resistance area. As a result, a distribution of two-dimensional electrons serving as carriers is produced within a horizontal plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the layers to form a desired device configuration. For example, when the configuration is applied to a transistor configuration, a channel concentration under a gate is reduced to improve withstand voltage between the gate and a drain, and at the same time, a channel concentration in source and drain areas is increased to realize low contact resistance.
