Abstract

A nitride semiconductor device includes: a first layer made of a first nitride semiconductor; a second layer provided on the first layer and made of a second nitride semiconductor having a larger band gap than the first nitride semiconductor; a first electrode electrically connected to the second layer; a second electrode provided on the second layer and juxtaposed to the first electrode in a first direction; and a floating electrode provided on the second layer, the floating electrode including: a portion sandwiched by the second electrode in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; and a portion protruding from the second electrode toward the first electrode.
