Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a first transistor, a first drive circuit including a second transistor, and a second drive circuit including a third transistor. The second transistor and the third transistor are connected in series; and a connection node of the second and third transistors is connected to a gate electrode of the first transistor. The first transistor, the second transistor, and the third transistor are normally-off MOS HEMTs formed in a first substrate that includes GaN. The first drive circuit charges a parasitic capacitance of the first transistor. The second drive circuit discharges the parasitic capacitance of the first transistor.
