A Schottky diode includes a semiconductor substrate made of 4H-SiC, an epitaxially grown 4H-SiC layer, an ion implantation layer, a Schottky electrode, an ohmic electrode, and an insulative layer made of a thermal oxide film. The Schottky electrode and the insulative layer are not in contact with each other, with a gap being provided therebetween, whereby an altered layer does not occur. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a leak current.

An insulated-gate semiconductor element having a high breakdown voltage is provided. The surface of a silicon carbide substrate is etched to form a concave portion. A particle beam, for example an ion beam, is irradiated from above, and a defect layer is formed at least in a bottom surface of the concave portion. The substrate is heated in an oxidation atmosphere, and an oxide film is formed at least on a side surface and the bottom surface of the concave portion. A gate electrode is formed on the oxide film. The oxide film at the bottom surface is thicker than at the side surfaces, so that a high breakdown voltage can be ensured, even when the surface of the silicon carbide layer is a face with which a superior epitaxial layer can be attained, such as the (111) Si-face of β -SiC or the (0001) Si-face of α -SiC.

Equipment for a communication system has a semiconductor device formed by integrating a Schottky diode, a MOSFET, a capacitor, and an inductor in a SiC substrate. The SiC substrate has a first multilayer portion and a second multilayer portion provided upwardly in this order. The first multilayer portion is composed of δ-doped layers each containing an n-type impurity (nitrogen) at a high concentration and undoped layers which are alternately stacked. The second multilayer portion is composed of δ - doped layers each containing a p-type impurity (aluminum) at a high concentration and undoped layers which are alternately stacked. Carriers in the δ -doped layers spread out extensively to the undoped layers. Because of a low impurity concentration in each of the undoped layers, scattering by impurity ions is reduced so that a low resistance and a high breakdown voltage are obtained.

An accumulation-mode MISFET comprises: a high-resistance SiC layer 102 epitaxially grown on a SiC substrate 101; a well region 103; an accumulation channel layer 104 having a multiple δ-doped layer formed on the surface region of the well region 103; a contact region 105; a gate insulating film 108; and a gate electrode 110. The accumulation channel layer 104 has a structure in which undoped layers 104b and δ-doped layers 104a allowing spreading movement of carriers to the undoped layers 104b under a quantum effect are alternately stacked. A source electrode 111 is provided which enters into the accumulation channel layer 104 and the contact region 105 to come into direct contact with the contact region 105. It becomes unnecessary that a source region is formed by ion implantation, leading to reduction in fabrication cost.
摘要:
Ion implantation is carried out to form a p-well region and a source region in parts of a high resistance SiC layer on a SiC substrate, and a carbon film is deposited over the substrate. With the carbon film deposited over the substrate, annealing for activating the implanted dopant ions is performed, and then the carbon film is removed. Thus, a smooth surface having hardly any surface roughness caused by the annealing is obtained. Furthermore, if a channel layer is epitaxially grown, the surface roughness of the channel layer is smaller than that of the underlying layer. Since the channel layer having a smooth surface is provided, it is possible to obtain a MISFET with a high current drive capability.
