摘要:
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.

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.

The method for fabricating a nitride semiconductor of the present invention includes the steps of: (1) growing a first semiconductor layer made of a first group III nitride over a substrate by supplying a first group III source and a group V source containing nitrogen; and (2) growing a second semiconductor layer made of a second group III nitride on the first semiconductor layer by supplying a second group III source and a group V source containing nitrogen. At least one of the steps (1) and (2) includes the step of supplying a p-type dopant over the substrate, and an area near the interface between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer is grown so that the density of the p-type dopant locally increases.

In a semiconductor device of the present invention, the top surface of an n-type silicon carbide layer formed on a silicon carbide substrate is miscut from the (0001) plane in the direction. A gate electrode, a source electrode and other elements are arranged such that in a channel region, the dominating current flows along a miscut direction. In the present invention, a gate insulating film is formed and then heat treatment is performed in an atmosphere containing a group-V element. In this way, the interface state density at the interface between the silicon carbide layer and the gate insulating film is reduced. As a result, the electron mobility becomes higher in a miscut direction A than in the direction perpendicular to the miscut direction A.

A gate insulating film which is an oxide layer mainly made of SiO 2 is formed over a silicon carbide substrate by thermal oxidation, and then, a resultant structure is annealed in an inert gas atmosphere in a chamber. Thereafter, the silicon carbide-oxide layered structure is placed in a chamber which has a vacuum pump and exposed to a reduced pressure NO gas atmosphere at a high temperature higher than 1100°C and lower than 1250°C, whereby nitrogen is diffused in the gate insulating film. As a result, a gate insulating film which is a V-group element containing oxide layer, the lower part of which includes a high nitrogen concentration region, and the relative dielectric constant of which is 3.0 or higher, is obtained. The interface state density of an interface region between the V-group element containing oxide layer and the silicon carbide layer decreases.
