摘要:
A method is set forth of forming an ohmic electrode having good characteristics on a SiC semiconductor layer. In the method, a Ti-layer and an Al-layer are formed on a surface of the SiC substrate. The SiC substrate having the Ti-layer and the Al-layer is maintained at a temperature that is higher than or equal to a first temperature and lower than a second temperature until all Ti in the Ti-layer has reacted with Al. The first temperature is the minimum temperature of a temperature zone at which the Ti reacts with the Al to form Al3Ti, and the second temperature is the minimum temperature of a temperature zone at which the Al3Ti reacts with SiC to form Ti3SiC2. As a result of this maintaining of temperature step, an Al3Ti-layer is formed on the surface of the SiC substrate. The method also comprises further heating the SiC substrate having the Al3Ti-layer to a temperature that is higher than the second temperature. As a result of this step of further heating the SiC substrate reacts with Al3Ti of the Al3Ti-layer to form a Ti3SiC2-layer on the surface of the SiC substrate.

摘要:
An SiC semiconductor device has a p type region (5) including a low concentration region (5b) and a high concentration region (5c) filled in a trench (5a) formed in a cell region. A p type column is provided by the low concentration region (5b), and a p + type deep layer is provided by the high concentration region (5c). Thus, since a SJ structure can be made by the p type column provided by the low concentration region (5b) and the n type column provided by the n type drift layer (2), an on-state resistance can be reduced. Since a drain potential can be blocked by the p + type deep layer provided by the high concentration region (5c), at a time of turning off, an electric field applied to the gate insulation film (8) can be alleviated and thus breakage of the gate insulation film (8) can be restricted. Therefore, the SiC semiconductor device can realize the reduction of the on-state resistance and the restriction of breakage of the gate insulation film (8).
