There are provided a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same. The semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a base substrate; a semiconductor layer that includes a receiving groove and a protrusion part formed on the base substrate, a first carrier injection layer and at least two insulating layers formed to traverse the first carrier injection layer formed in the semiconductor layer, and a second carrier injection layer spaced apart from the first carrier injection layer formed on the protrusion part; a source electrode and a drain electrode that are disposed to be spaced apart from each other on the semiconductor layer; and a gate electrode that is insulated from the source electrode and the drain electrode and has a recess part recessed into the receiving groove, wherein the lowest end portion of the receiving groove contacts the uppermost layer of the first carrier injection layer and the insulating pattern disposed at the innermost side of the semiconductor layer among the insulating patterns traverses the entire layer forming the first carrier injection layer and is disposed at the outer side of both side end portions in the thickness direction of the receiving groove.
