1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a semiconductor substrate;
a first compound semiconductor layer disposed on and lattice-matched to said semiconductor substrate, said first compound semiconductor layer containing a first Group V element and Group III elements including In;
a second compound semiconductor layer supported by said first compound semiconductor layer and containing a second Group V element, excluding the first Group V element, and Group III elements excluding In; and
a third compound semiconductor layer disposed between said first and second compound semiconductor layers, said third compound semiconductor layer forming a heterojunction with each of said first and second compound semiconductor layers, having the same composition ratios of Group III elements as said second compound semiconductor layer, and having an equal or lower composition ratio of the first Group V element than the composition ratio of the second Group V element.
