Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semi-insulating substrate. A channel layer is formed on the semi-insulating substrate. An electron supply layer is formed on the semi-insulating substrate for generating a two-dimensional electron gas. The electron supply layer includes a doped superlattice layer. The superlattice layer includes layers of In.sub.X Al.sub.1-X As and layers of In.sub.Y Al.sub.1-Y As which alternate with each other, where 0.ltoreq.X.ltoreq.1.0 and 0.ltoreq.Y.ltoreq.1.0, and X differs from Y.
