Description
図1に示すように、電力用半導体装置としてのMOSFET200(炭化珪素半導体装置)は、中央部PCと、中央部PCを取り囲み外縁をなす外縁部PTとからなる平面レイアウトを有する。
図4に示すように、単結晶基板80上における炭化珪素のエピタキシャル成長によって下側ドリフト層81Aが形成される。エピタキシャル成長が行われる面は、{000−1}面から8度以内のオフ角を有することが好ましく、(000−1)面から8度以内のオフ角を有することがより好ましい。エピタキシャル成長はCVD法により行われ得る。原料ガスとしては、たとえば、シラン(SiH4)とプロパン(C3H8)との混合ガスを用い得る。この際、不純物として、たとえば窒素(N)やリン(P)を導入することが好ましい。
熱エッチングとは、エッチングされる対象を高温下で反応性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。反応性ガスは、加熱下において炭化珪素と反応し得るものである。反応性ガスが加熱下でエピタキシャル膜90へ供給されることで、エピタキシャル膜90がエッチングされる。
本実施の形態のMOSFET200(図2)によれば、中央部PCだけでなく外縁部PTにもトランジスタ素子ELが設けられている。言い換えれば、中央部PCだけでなく外縁部PTにも、半導体装置本来の機能(たとえばスイッチング機能)を有するための素子構造が設けられている。
図14に示すように、MOSFET200(図2)の変形例のMOSFET200Pはプレーナ型である。すなわち、エピタキシャル膜90の上面P2上にトレンチTR(図2)が設けられておらず、平坦なP2上に、ベース層82Pと、ソース領域83Pと、コンタクト領域84Pとの不純物領域が形成されている。また平坦なP2上にゲート酸化膜91Pが設けられている。ゲート酸化膜91P上にゲート電極92Pが設けられている。
上述したように、トレンチTRの側壁面SW(図2)は、特にベース層82上において「特殊面」を有することが好ましい。以下、側壁面SWが特殊面を有する場合について説明する。
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16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。
トレンチTRの側壁面SW(図2)が面S1(図15)を含む場合、面方位{0−33−8}を有する面にチャネルが形成される。これにより、オン抵抗のうちチャネル抵抗が占める部分が抑制される。よってオン抵抗を所定の値以下に維持しつつ、ドリフト領域81による抵抗を大きくし得る。よってドリフト領域81の不純物濃度をより低くすることができる。よってMOSFET200の耐圧をより高めることができる。トレンチTRの側壁面SWが面S1および面S2を微視的に含む場合は、オン抵抗をより抑制し得る。よって耐圧をより高めることができる。側壁面SWの面S1およびS2が複合面SRを構成している場合、オン抵抗をより抑制し得る。よって耐圧をより高めることができる。
