A method for fabricating a compound semiconductor device according to the present invention includes the steps of: a) depositing a first compound semiconductor layer over a substrate; b) depositing a second compound semiconductor layer on the first compound semiconductor layer, the second compound semiconductor layer being made of a compound with etch properties different from those of a compound for the first compound semiconductor layer; c) forming an etching mask on the second compound semiconductor layer, the etching mask having a first opening; d) anisotropically dry-etching the second compound semiconductor layer selectively with respect to the first compound semiconductor layer through the etching mask, thereby forming a second opening in the second compound semiconductor layer; and e) isotropically dry-etching the second compound semiconductor layer selectively with respect to the first compound semiconductor layer through the etching mask, thereby side-etching a side of the second opening and making the second opening greater in size than the first opening.
