Patent ID: 11469304

Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor layer including Alx1Ga1-x1N (0≤x1<1), a second semiconductor layer including Alx2In1-x2N (0<x2<1 and x1<x2), and an intermediate region provided between the first and second semiconductor layers. The intermediate region includes Alx3Ga1-x3N (0<x3≤1 and x2<x3). The second semiconductor layer includes first and second surfaces. The second surface is between the intermediate region and the first surface in a first direction. The first direction is from the first semiconductor layer toward the second semiconductor layer. The second semiconductor layer includes a plurality of first pits provided in the first surface. Widths of the first pits are 200 nm or more. A density in the first surface of the first pits is not less than 5×107/cm2 and not more than 1×108/cm2.
