Abstract

A nitride semiconductor device includes an n-type GaN substrate with a semiconductor device formed thereon and an n-type electrode which is a metal electrode formed on the rear surface of the GaN substrate. A surface modified layer and a reaction layer are interposed between the GaN substrate and n-type electrode. The surface modified layer serves as a carrier supplying layer, and is formed by causing the rear surface of the GaN substrate to react with a Si-containing plasma to be modified. The reaction layer is generated by partially removing a deposited material deposited on the surface modified layer by cleaning to generate a deposited layer and then causing Ti contained in a first metal layer and the deposited layer to partially react by heat treatment.
