Abstract
According to one embodiment, there is provided a semiconductor device which includes first to third electrodes, a semiconductor member, and an insulating member. The semiconductor member includes a first semiconductor region including Alx1Ga1-x1N (0≤x1<1), a second semiconductor region including Alx2Ga1-x2N (0≤x2<1), and a third semiconductor region including Alx3Ga1-x3N (0<x3≤1, x1<x3, x2<x3). The <0001> orientation of the second semiconductor region is opposite to the <0001> orientation of the first semiconductor region.
