Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor layer; at least one electrode formed on the semiconductor layer to be in contact with the semiconductor layer; and a passivation film covering the semiconductor layer and at least part of the top surface of the electrode to protect the semiconductor layer and formed of a plurality of sub-films, the passivation film including a first sub-film made of aluminum nitride, wherein the at least one electrode comprises a gate electrode and a source electrode and a drain electrode located to both sides of the gate electrode, respectively, and apart from the gate electrode, and the surface of the passivation film is uneven so that the passivation film has a plurality of concave surfaces and a plurality of convex surfaces between the source electrode and the gate electrode and a plurality of concave surfaces and a plurality of convex surfaces between the drain electrode and the gate electrode.
