Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first nitride semiconductor layer disposed on the substrate and having a first bandgap, and a second nitride semiconductor layer disposed on the first nitride semiconductor layer and having a second bandgap. The second bandgap is larger than the first bandgap. The semiconductor device further includes a gate contact disposed over the second nitride semiconductor layer and a first field plate disposed over the gate contact. The first field plate has a first surface facing the substrate, a second surface facing the substrate, and a protruded portion. The protruded portion has a bottom surface facing the substrate. The bottom surface is located between the first surface and the second surface.
