摘要:
Proton implantation is performed a plurality of times to form a plurality of n-type buffer layers (5, 6, 7) in an n-type drift layer (2) at different depths from a rear surface of a substrate. The depth of the n-type buffer layer (5), which is provided at the deepest position from the rear surface of the substrate, from the rear surface of the substrate is more than 15 µm. The temperature of a heat treatment which is performed in order to change a proton into a donor and to recover a crystal defect after the proton implantation is equal to or higher than 400°C. In a carrier concentration distribution of the n-type buffer layer (5), a width from the peak position (5a) of carrier concentration to an anode is more than a width from the peak position (5a) to a cathode. The carrier concentration of regions (15, 16) interposed between the n-type buffer layers (5, 6, 7) is flat and is equal to or more than the carrier concentration of an n-type silicon substrate (1) and equal to or less than five times the carrier concentration of the n-type silicon substrate (1). Therefore, it is possible to ensure a breakdown voltage and to reduce generation loss. It is possible to suppress the oscillation of voltage and current during a switching operation. In addition, it is possible to recover the crystal defect and to reduce a leakage current. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the risk of thermal runaway.

A transistor device including a field plate is described. One embodiment of such a device includes a field plate separated from a semiconductor layer by a thin spacer layer. In one embodiment, the thickness of spacer layer separating the field plate from the semiconductor layers is less than the thickness of spacer layer separating the field plate from the gate. In another embodiment, the non-zero distance separating the field plate from the semiconductor layers is about 1500 Å or less. Devices according to the present invention can show capacitances which are less drain bias dependent, resulting in improved linearity.

Devices according to the present invention can show capacitances which are less drain bias dependent, resulting in improved linearity.
摘要:
The semiconductor device includes: a channel layer (CH), a barrier layer (BA), a first insulating film (IF1), and a second insulating film (IF2), each of which is formed above a substrate (S); a trench (T) that penetrates the second insulating film, the first insulating film, and the barrier layer to reach the middle of the channel layer; and a gate electrode (GE) arranged in the trench and over the second insulating film via a gate insulating film (GI). The bandgap of the second insulating film is smaller than that of the first insulating film, and the bandgap of the second insulating film is smaller than that of the gate insulating film. Accordingly, a charge (electron) can be accumulated in the second (upper) insulating film, thereby allowing the electric field strength at a corner of the trench to be improved. As a result, a channel is fully formed even at a corner of the trench, thereby allowing an ON-resistance to be reduced and an ON-current to be increased.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor product includes the processing of a semiconductor wafer (10) from a front surface including structures disposed in the substrate (100) of the wafer adjacent to the front surface and the forming of at least one wiring (110) embedded in a dielectric layer (111) disposed on the front surface of the wafer. The semiconductor wafer is mounted to a carrier wafer (120) at its front surface so that material can be removed from the backside of the wafer to thin the semiconductor wafer. Backside processing of the semiconductor wafer includes the forming of implantations from the backside of the wafer, the forming of deep trenches (132a, 132b) to isolate the structures from other structures within the wafer, the forming of a through silicon via (134) to contact features on the frontside of the wafer and the forming of a body contact (131). Several devices can be generated within the same wafer.
