Nitride semiconductor device

摘要

A nitride semiconductor device has a nitride semiconductor layer structure. The structure includes an active layer (16) of a quantum well structure containing an indium-containing nitride semiconductor. A first nitride semiconductor layer (101) having a band gap energy larger than that of the active layer (16) is provided in contact with the active layer (16). A second nitride semiconductor layer (102) having a band gap energy smaller than that of the first layer (101) is provided over the first layer (101). Further, a third nitride semiconductor layer (103) having a band gap energy larger than that of the second layer (102) is provided over the second layer (102).
