Abstract

A nitride semiconductor power device includes an AlGaN multilayer, which has changeable Al composition along a depositing direction, and SixNy layer, so as to minimize an increase in a leakage current and a decrease in a breakdown voltage, which are caused while fabricating a heterojunction type HFET device. A semiconductor device includes a buffer layer, an AlGaN multilayer formed on the buffer layer, a GaN channel layer formed on the AlGaN multilayer, and an AlGaN barrier layer formed on the AlGaN multilayer, wherein aluminum (Al) composition of the AlGaN multilayer changes along a direction that the AlGaN multilayer is deposited.
