Abstract

A semiconductor device according to the present invention has a MIS structure that includes a semiconductor layer, a gate insulating film in contact with the semiconductor layer, and a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film, and the gate insulating film includes an AlON layer with a nitrogen composition of 5% to 40%. A semiconductor device is thereby provided with which electron trapping in the gate insulating film can be reduced and shifting of a threshold voltage Vth can be suppressed.
