A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor layer stack formed on a substrate, a first ohmic electrode and a second ohmic electrode which are formed on the semiconductor layer stack, and are spaced from each other, a first control layer formed between the first ohmic electrode and the second ohmic electrode, and a first gate electrode formed on the first control layer. The first control layer includes a lower layer, an intermediate layer which is formed on the lower layer, and has lower impurity concentration than the lower layer, and an upper layer which is formed on the intermediate layer, and has higher impurity concentration than the intermediate layer.
