Abstract

A semiconductor device includes semiconductor layers, an anode electrode, and a cathode electrode. The semiconductor layers include a composition change layer, the anode electrode is electrically connected to one of principal surfaces of the composition change layer through a formation of a Schottky junction between the anode electrode and a part of the semiconductor layers, the cathode electrode is electrically connected to the other of the principal surfaces of the composition change layer through a formation of a junction between the cathode electrode and another part of the semiconductor layers, the anode electrode and the cathode electrode are capable of applying a voltage to the composition change layer in a direction perpendicular to the principal surface.
