Description
図1に示すように、本実施の形態の半導体装置201(炭化珪素半導体装置)は、単結晶基板80と、ゲート酸化膜91(ゲート絶縁膜)と、ゲート電極92と、層間絶縁膜93と、ソース電極94と、配線層97と、ドレイン電極層98(電極層)と、エピタキシャル膜90(炭化珪素膜)と、第1の半導体素子としてのトランジスタ素子ETと、第2の半導体素子としてのショットキーバリアダイオード素子ED1とを有する。ショットキーバリアダイオード素子ED1は、トランジスタ素子ETに電気的に接続された還流ダイオードとしての機能を有し得る。
図5を参照して、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領域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。
図10に示すように、本実施の形態の半導体装置202(炭化珪素半導体装置)においては、エピタキシャル膜90の上面P2に、ショットキーバリアダイオード素子ED2が形成されたテラス部HX(凹部)が設けられている。具体的には、図10における右上部分に示すように、上面P2の縁部においてテラス状の形状を有するテラス部HXが設けられている。テラス部HXは側壁SXおよび底面BXを有する。側壁SXの少なくとも一部はドリフト層81からなり、その部分にショットキー電極95が接している。このようにショットキーバリアダイオード素子ED2では、上面P2上においてショットキー電極95がドリフト層81に接する部分は、側壁SXを含む。この結果、上面P2上においてショットキー電極95がドリフト層81に接する部分は、下面P1から傾いている部分を有する。
図13に示すように、本実施の形態の半導体装置203(炭化珪素半導体装置)においては、中央面FC上に、トランジスタ素子ETに加えダイオード素子ED3が配置されている。ショットキーバリアダイオード素子ED2(図10:実施の形態2)は凹部としてのテラス部HXに設けられているが、ダイオード素子ED3は凹部としてのトレンチ部HYに設けられている。
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。
ショットキーバリアダイオード素子ED2またはED3が設けられる側壁SXは、特殊面を有することが好ましい。特殊面を有する側壁SX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SXは面S1を微視的に含み、側壁SX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。
