Definitions
- an epitaxial layer of silicon carbide having an n conductivity type is formed on the main surface of substrate 1 made of silicon carbide.
- the epitaxial layer becomes the breakdown voltage holding layer 2.
- Epitaxial growth for forming the breakdown voltage holding layer 2 is a CVD using, for example, a mixed gas of silane (SiH 4 ) and propane (C 3 H 8 ) as a source gas and using, for example, hydrogen gas (H 2 ) as a carrier gas. It can be implemented by law.
- the node of the n-type impurity of the breakdown voltage holding layer 2 can be, for example, 5 ⁇ 10 15 cm ⁇ 3 or more and 5 ⁇ 10 16 cm ⁇ 3 or less.
- a gate insulating film 8 is formed so as to extend from the inside of the trench 6 to the upper surfaces of the n-type source contact layer 4 and the p-type contact region 5.
- the material and forming method of the gate insulating film 8 are the same as the material and forming method of the gate insulating film 8 in FIG. In this way, the structure shown in FIG. 21 is obtained.
- the silicon carbide layer has a plurality of mesa structures in which the side surface 20 constitutes a side surface on the main surface opposite to the surface facing the substrates 1 and 31, as shown in FIGS. May be included.
- the surface portion of the silicon carbide layer located between the plurality of mesa structures and continuing to the side face 20 (the bottom of the groove 6 located between the side faces of the plurality of mesa structures) is substantially a ⁇ 000-1 ⁇ plane. Also good.
- the upper surface continuous with the side surface 20 may be substantially a ⁇ 000-1 ⁇ plane.
- the semiconductor device may further include an electric field relaxation region 7 formed between a plurality of mesa structures.
- the electric field relaxation region 7 exists when the drain electrode 14 is formed on the back side of the substrates 1 and 31 (the back side opposite to the main surface where silicon carbide is formed on the substrates 1 and 31).
- the breakdown voltage between the electrode (for example, the gate electrode 9) and the drain electrode 14 between the mesa structures can be increased.
- the side surface 20 formed in the silicon carbide layer is substantially any of the ⁇ 03-3-8 ⁇ plane, the ⁇ 01-1-4 ⁇ plane, and the ⁇ 100 ⁇ plane.
- These side surfaces 20 which are so-called semipolar surfaces can be used as active regions (for example, channel regions) of the semiconductor device.
- these side surfaces 20 are stable crystal planes, when the side surfaces 20 are used as active regions such as channel regions, than when other crystal surfaces (for example, (0001) planes) are used as channel regions, The leakage current can be sufficiently reduced and a high breakdown voltage can be obtained.

Abstract
Description
図1および図2を参照して、本発明による半導体装置の実施の形態1を説明する。
そして、このレジスト膜をマスクとして用いて、エッチングにより層間絶縁膜10およびゲート絶縁膜8を部分的にエッチングにより除去する。この結果、層間絶縁膜10およびゲート絶縁膜8には開口部11(図11参照)が形成される。この開口部11の底部においては、p型のコンタクト領域5およびn型ソースコンタクト層4の一部が露出した状態となる。その後、当該開口部11の内部を充填するとともに、上述したレジスト膜の上部表面上を覆うようにソース電極12(図11参照)となるべき導電体膜を形成する。その後、薬液などを用いてレジスト膜を除去することにより、レジスト膜上に形成されていた導電体膜の部分を同時に除去する(リフトオフ)。この結果、開口部11の内部に充填された導電体膜によりソース電極12を形成できる。このソース電極12はp型のコンタクト領域5およびn型ソースコンタクト層4とオーミック接触したオーミック電極である。
図15を参照して、本発明による半導体装置の実施の形態2を説明する。
次に、ゲート電極9の上部表面、およびp型のコンタクト領域35上において露出しているゲート絶縁膜8の上部表面上を覆うように層間絶縁膜10(図23参照)を形成する。層間絶縁膜10としては、絶縁性を有する材料であれば任意の材料を用いることができる。そして、図11に示した工程と同様に、層間絶縁膜10およびゲート絶縁膜8には開口部11(図23参照)が形成される。当該開口部11の形成方法は、図11における開口部の形成方法と同様である。この開口部11の底部においては、p型のコンタクト領域35およびn型ソースコンタクト層34の一部が露出した状態となる。
また、基板31の裏面側(n型エピタキシャル層32が形成された主表面と反対側の表面側)に、ドレイン電極14(図23参照)を形成する。ドレイン電極14としては、基板31とオーミック接触が可能な材料であれば任意の材料を用いることができる。このようにして、図23に示す構造を得る。
図25を参照して、本発明による半導体装置の参考例を説明する。
図26に示した半導体装置は、基本的には図25に示した半導体装置と同様の構造を備えるが、ガードリング45(図25参照)に代えてJTE(Junction Termination Extension)領域46が形成されている点が異なる。JTE領域46は、導電型がp型の領域である。このようなJTE領域46も、図25に示したガードリング45と同様にイオン注入および活性化アニールを実施することにより形成することができる。そして、図25に示した半導体装置の製造方法と同様に、図26に示した半導体装置の製造方法においても、JTE領域46を形成するためのイオン注入後の活性化アニール処理においては、少なくとも側面20を覆うようなキャップ層を形成することなく活性化アニール処理を実施する。このようにしても、側面20は安定な結晶面(たとえば{03-3-8}面)によって構成されているため、当該活性アニールによっても側面20の表面が荒れるといった問題は発生しない。また、上記図25および図26に示したガードリング45および/またはJET構造は、先に説明した本発明による半導体装置の実施の形態1または実施の形態2に適用することもできる。
上記半導体装置の製造方法において、端面を形成する工程では、メサ構造の側面20と、複数のメサ構造の間に位置し、側面20と連なる炭化珪素層の表面部分(溝6の底壁)とを自己形成的に形成してもよい。具体的には、上記熱エッチングやSiC再構成層22の形成といった手法を用いて、上記メサ構造の側面20として{03-3-8}面を表出させるとともに、上記溝6の底壁にて所定の結晶面(たとえば(0001)面または(000-1)面)を表出させてもよい。この場合、側面20とともに溝6の底壁においても所定の結晶面(たとえば(0001)面または(000-1)面)を安定して形成することができる。
