A semiconductor device includes a first nitride semiconductor layer, a source electrode on the first nitride semiconductor layer, a drain electrode on the first nitride semiconductor layer, a gate electrode on the first nitride semiconductor layer and between the source electrode and the drain electrode, a gate field plate electrode that is separated from the first nitride semiconductor layer, and includes one end in direct contact with the gate electrode, and the other end positioned between the gate electrode and the drain electrode, a first interlayer insulating film that is separated from the gate electrode and is between the gate field plate electrode and the first nitride semiconductor layer, and a second interlayer insulating film that is between the gate electrode and the first interlayer insulating film and has a dielectric constant higher than a dielectric constant of the first interlayer insulating film.
