Abstract
A nitride semiconductor device includes a second insulating film (22) covering at least a drain electrode (19) and a thermal stress reducer that reduces thermal stress in a place where thermal stress that is generated between the drain electrode (19) and the second insulating film (22) reaches its maximum at the time of a load short. The thermal stress reducer (19bf) is a drain field plate portion (19bf) formed by an extension of an upper part of the drain electrode (19) toward a source electrode (18).
