Abstract

A method for forming a nitride semiconductor laminated structure includes forming a first layer that is an n-type or i-type first layer composed of a group III nitride semiconductor using an H 2 carrier gas; forming a second layer by laminating a p-type second layer composed of a group III nitride semiconductor and containing Mg on the first layer using an H 2 carrier gas; and forming a third layer that is an n-type or i-type third layer composed of a group III nitride semiconductor on the second layer using an H 2 carrier gas after forming the second layer. A method for manufacturing a nitride semiconductor device includes the method steps for forming the nitride semiconductor laminated structure.

Claims (14)

1. A method for forming a nitride semiconductor laminated structure, comprising:

forming a first layer that is an n-type or i-type first layer composed of a group III nitride semiconductor using an H 2 carrier gas;

forming a second layer by laminating a p-type second layer composed of a group III nitride semiconductor and containing Mg on the first layer using an H 2 carrier gas; and

forming a third layer that is an n-type or i-type third layer composed of a group III nitride semiconductor on the second layer using an H 2 carrier gas after forming the second layer.

2. A method for manufacturing a nitride semiconductor device, comprising:

forming a first layer that is an n-type or i-type first layer composed of a group III nitride semiconductor using an H 2 carrier gas;

forming a second layer by laminating a p-type second layer composed of a group III nitride semiconductor and containing Mg on the first layer using an H 2 carrier gas;

forming, a third layer that is an n-type or i-type third layer composed of a group III nitride semiconductor on the second layer using an H 2 carrier gas after forming the second layer;

forming a wall surface that extends over the first, second and third layers;

forming a gate insulating film on the wall surface to extend over the first, second and third layers;

forming a gate electrode, that is opposed to the wall surface, on the second layer through the gate insulating film;

forming a drain electrode that is electrically connected to the first layer; and

forming a source electrode that is electrically connected to the third layer.

3. The method for manufacturing a nitride semiconductor device according to claim 2 , further comprising forming a fourth layer that has a different conductivity from that of the second layer on a semiconductor surface portion of the second layer exposed due to forming the wall surface.
