Abstract

See full text

A switching device includes first-third semiconductor layers, a gate insulating film, and a gate electrode. The first semiconductor layer is of a first conductivity type. The second semiconductor layer is of a second conductivity type and in contact with the first semiconductor layer. The third semiconductor layer is of the first conductivity type, in contact with the second semiconductor layer. The gate insulating film covers a surface of the second semiconductor layer in a range in which the second semiconductor layer separates the first semiconductor layer from the third semiconductor layer. The gate electrode faces the second semiconductor layer via the gate insulating film. The gate electrode includes a fourth semiconductor layer covering a surface of the gate insulating film; and a fifth semiconductor layer having a bandgap different from a bandgap of the fourth semiconductor layer and covering a surface of the fourth semiconductor layer.
