Description
図2に示すように、炭化珪素基板SBは、炭化珪素からなる単結晶基板1と、単結晶基板1の主表面MS上にエピタキシャルに形成された炭化珪素層とを有する。
図3に示すように、六方晶系の単結晶構造を有する炭化珪素から作られ、厚さ方向において互いに反対の側である表側および裏側を有する炭化珪素基板SBが準備される。具体的には、以下のとおりである。
次に図6に示すように、コンタクト領域5と、電界緩和領域7と、JTE領域21と、ガードリング領域22と、フィールドストップ領域23とが形成される。これらの形成は、マスクを用いることによる選択的なイオン注入によって行うことができる。
本実施の形態によれば、炭化珪素基板SBの表面のうちソース電極12およびドレイン電極14の間の部分に側壁STと底面BTとが、熱エッチングにより設けられる。よって炭化珪素基板SBの表面を経路とする、ソース電極12とドレイン電極14との間のリーク電流は、側面STおよび底面BTを通る。熱エッチングを用いることで、側壁STの面方位を{0−33−8}または{0−11−4}とし、また底面BTの面方位を{000−1}とすることができる。これにより側壁STおよび底面BTの各々と絶縁膜8Tとの界面における界面準位密度が低くなる。よって界面準位の存在に起因した電流の生成が抑制されるので、ソース電極12およびドレイン電極14の電極の間におけるリーク電流を抑制することができる。
