    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.
