摘要:
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.

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 present invention provides a semiconductor element in which the field-effect transistor and the Schottky diode are arranged such that a depletion layer stemming from the Schottky diode is superimposed on a depletion layer stemming from a junction between a second conductivity type semiconductor constituting the field-effect transistor and a drift region (first conductivity type semiconductor) in an off-state. According to preferable embodiments of the present invention, the reverse recovery time due to a parasitic diode can be reduced by providing the Schottky diode such that the element area of the semiconductor element is not increased. Moreover, the breakdown voltage in the semiconductor element can be improved.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor thin film (4) is initiated with preparing a substrate (1) having a surface consisting of a single crystal of Si. The surface has an oxide film. Then, the oxide film is removed. The dangling bonds of the Si atoms on the surface are terminated with hydrogen atoms. An initial layer (2) is formed on the substrate of the single crystal of Si terminated with the hydrogen atoms, of at least one selected from the group consisting of Al, Ga, and In. A buffer layer (3) containing at least In and Sb is formed on the initial layer. A semiconductor thin film (4) containing at least In and Sb is formed on the buffer layer (3) at a temperature higher than the temperature at which the buffer layer (3) is started to be formed. There is also disclosed a method of fabricating a Hall-effect device. This method is initiated with forming a semiconductor thin film by making use of the above-described fabrication method. Then, electrodes are attached to the thin film.
