Semicoductor device having a hetero interface with a lowered barrier

Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor layer formed of first semiconductor, a second semiconductor layer formed on the first semiconductor layer and formed of second semiconductor of a group different from a group to which the first semiconductor belongs, and a third semiconductor layer formed between the first and second semiconductor layers, the third semiconductor layer being one of a layer formed of third semiconductor of the same group as the first semiconductor and having an impurity concentration higher than the first semiconductor layer and a layer formed of fourth semiconductor of the same group as the second semiconductor and having an impurity concentration higher than the second semiconductor layer.
