The dispersion properties of volume and surface magnetoplasma polaritons in a three-layer metal-semiconductor-insulator structure are studied. It is predicted that surface magnetoplasma polaritons propagating on the two boundaries of the semiconductor layer interact resonantly. It is shown that for a certain direction of propagation the dispersion curves of surface and volume magnetoplasma polaritons contain sections with negative dispersion. Nonreciprocal propagation of volume magnetoplasma polaritons has been observed. Losses in the semiconductor layer split the starting spectral lines into dispersion curves of two types, corresponding to forward and backward waves.
