Abstract

A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes a nitride semiconductor layer, a gate electrode provided above the nitride semiconductor layer, a source electrode provided above the nitride semiconductor layer, a drain electrode provided above the nitride semiconductor layer at a side opposite to the source electrode with respect to the gate electrode, a first silicon nitride film provided above the nitride semiconductor layer between the drain electrode and the gate electrode, and a second silicon nitride film provided between the nitride semiconductor layer and the gate electrode, an atomic ratio of silicon to nitrogen in the second silicon nitride film being lower than an atomic ratio of silicon to nitrogen in the first silicon nitride film.
