摘要： According to a method for fabricating a semiconductor device, a first semiconductor layer made of a first nitride semiconductor is formed over a substrate. Thereafter, a mask film covering part of the upper surface of the first semiconductor layer is selectively formed on the first semiconductor layer. A multilayer film, in which second and third nitride semiconductors having different band gaps are stacked, is selectively formed on the first semiconductor layer with the mask film used as a formation mask. On the multilayer film, an ohmic electrode is formed.

摘要： A semiconductor device has a sapphire substrate, a semiconductor layer made of GaN provided on the sapphire substrate, a multilayer film provided on the semiconductor layer, and an electrode in ohmic contact with the multilayer film. The multilayer film has been formed by alternately stacking two types of semiconductor layers having different amounts of piezopolarization or different amounts of spontaneous polarization and each containing an n-type impurity so that electrons are induced at the interface between the two types of semiconductor layers. This allows the contact resistance between the electrode and the multilayer film and a parasitic resistance in a current transmission path to be reduced to values lower than in a conventional semiconductor device.

摘要： A semiconductor device has a first nitride semiconductor layer, a second nitride semiconductor layer formed on the first nitride semiconductor layer and having such a composition as to generate a 2-dimensional electron gas layer in the upper portion of the first nitride semiconductor layer, and an electrode having an ohmic property and formed selectively on the second nitride semiconductor layer. The second nitride semiconductor layer includes a contact area having at least one inclined portion with a bottom or wall surface thereof being inclined toward the upper surface of the first nitride semiconductor layer and defining a depressed cross-sectional configuration. The electrode is formed on the contact area.
