Description
図1および図2に示すように、MOSFET100(炭化珪素半導体装置)は、トランジスタ素子(半導体素子)が設けられている素子部CLと、素子部CLを取り囲んでいる終端部TMとを有するものである。MOSFET100は、エピタキシャル基板10(炭化珪素基板)と、絶縁膜21と、層間絶縁膜29と、ゲート電極30と、ソース電極31(第1の主電極)と、ドレイン電極42(第2の主電極)と、ゲートランナー50と、配線層51と、ゲートパッド59とを有する。
次にMOSFET100(図2)の製造方法について説明する。
熱エッチングとは、エッチングされる対象を高温下でエッチングガスにさらすことによって行われるものであり、物理的エッチング作用を実質的に有しないものである。熱エッチングのプロセスガスはハロゲン元素を含有する。より好ましくはハロゲン元素は塩素またはフッ素である。具体的には、プロセスガスとして、Cl2、BCl3、CF4、およびSF6の少なくともいずれかを含有するプロセスガスを用いることができ、特にCl2を好適に用いることができる。
本実施の形態のMOSFET100によれば、終端部TMに配置された側壁面STが、{000−1}面に対して50度以上80度以下傾斜している。これにより側壁面STの面方位を、側壁面STと側壁絶縁膜21Sとの界面準位の抑制に適したものとすることができる。これにより終端部TMにおいて、エピタキシャル基板10の側壁面STと側壁絶縁膜21Sとの界面における界面準位密度を低くし得る。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。よって、MOSFET100のリーク電流を抑制することができる。また側壁面STを容易に「特殊面」を有するものとすることができ、この場合、リーク電流がより抑制される。側壁面STが、巨視的に見て、面方位{0−33−8}、{0−11−2}、{0−11−4}および{0−11−1}のいずれかを有する場合も、ほぼ同様である。
上面P1の側壁面STは特殊面を有することが好ましい。このような側壁面STは、図14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。より好ましくは、側壁面STは面S1を微視的に含み、側壁面STはさらに、面方位{0−11−1}を有する面S2(第2の面)を微視的に含む。ここで「微視的」とは、原子間隔の2倍程度の寸法を少なくとも考慮する程度に詳細に、ということを意味する。このように微視的な構造の観察方法としては、たとえばTEM(Transmission Electron Microscope)を用いることができる。面S2は好ましくは面方位(0−11−1)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15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。
ゲート絶縁膜と側壁絶縁膜とは、同時ではなく別個に形成されてもよい。炭化珪素半導体装置のチャネル型はpチャネル型であってもよく、この場合、上述した実施の形態においてp型とn型とが入れ替えられた構成を用いることができる。炭化珪素半導体装置は、MOSFET以外のMISFET(Metal Insulator Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)であってもよく、またMISFET以外のものであってもよい。MISFET以外の炭化珪素半導体装置としては、たとえばIGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)がある。
