Description
これにより、第2の層によって構成されるチャネル面の上のゲート絶縁膜を、第2の部分に比して品質の高い第1の部分のみから形成することができる。
好ましくは、シリコン膜の一部を除去する工程は、次の工程を含む。第1の厚さよりも小さく第2の厚さよりも大きい厚さだけ、シリコン膜が酸化される。シリコン膜のうち、シリコン膜を酸化する工程によって酸化された部分が除去される。
好ましくは、トレンチを形成する工程は、次の工程を含む。第3の層上に、開口部を有するマスクが形成される。マスクを用いて炭化珪素基板がエッチングされる。上述した、シリコン膜を形成する工程は、上記マスクを用いて行われる。
図6に示すように、単結晶基板110上にn-層121がエピタキシャル成長により形成される。このエピタキシャル成長は、たとえば原料ガスとしてシラン(SiH4)とプロパン(C3H8)との混合ガスを用い、キャリアガスとしてたとえば水素ガス(H2)を用いたCVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition)法により行うことができる。また、このときドナーとしてたとえば窒素(N)やリン(P)を導入することが好ましい。
図18に示すように、ゲート酸化膜201上にゲート電極202が形成される。本実施の形態においては、ゲート電極202は、ゲート電極202がp型ボディ層122上の第1の部分201Aに直接接するように形成される。ゲート電極202の形成方法は、たとえば、導体またはドープトポリシリコンの成膜とCMP(Chemical Mechanical Polishing)とによって行い得る。
上述したように、トレンチTRの側壁面SW(図1)は好ましくは、特にp型ボディ層122上において、所定の結晶面(特殊面とも称する)を有する。このような側壁面SWは、図21に示すように、面方位{0−33−8}を有する面S1(第1の面)を含む。面S1は好ましくは面方位(0−33−8)を有する。
一般に、ポリタイプ4Hの炭化珪素単結晶を(000−1)面から見ると、図22に示すように、Si原子(またはC原子)は、A層の原子(図中の実線)と、この下に位置するB層の原子(図中の破線)と、この下に位置するC層の原子(図中の一点鎖線)と、この下に位置するB層の原子(図示せず)とが繰り返し設けられている。つまり4つの層ABCBを1周期としてABCBABCBABCB・・・のような周期的な積層構造が設けられている。
今回開示された実施の形態はすべての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明の範囲は上記した説明ではなくて特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
