A semiconductor device includes a codoped layer, a channel layer, a barrier layer, and a gate electrode disposed in a trench extending through the barrier layer and reaching a middle point in the channel layer via a gate insulating film. On both sides of the gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode are formed. On the source electrode side, an n-type semiconductor region is disposed to fix a potential and achieve a charge removing effect while, on the drain electrode side, a p-type semiconductor region is disposed to improve a drain breakdown voltage. By introducing hydrogen into a region of the codoped layer containing Mg as a p-type impurity in an amount larger than that of Si as an n-type impurity where the n-type semiconductor region is to be formed, it is possible to inactivate Mg and provide the n-type semiconductor region.
