摘要:
A lateral junction field effect transistor includes a first gate electrode layer arranged in a third semiconductor layer between source/drain region layers, having a lower surface extending on the second semiconductor layer, and doped with p-type impurities more heavily than the second semiconductor layer, and a second gate electrode layer arranged in a fifth semiconductor layer between the source/drain region layers, having a lower surface extending on a fourth semiconductor layer, having substantially the same concentration of p-type impurities as the first gate electrode layer, and having the same potential as the first gate electrode layer. Thereby, the lateral junction field effect transistor has a structure, which can reduce an on-resistance while maintaining good breakdown voltage properties.
摘要:
In the present invention, a technology for causing arbitrary polarity, crystal face and crystal orientation to exist mixedly in a plane on the surface of a SiC substrate, and for forming a SiC layer or a group III-nitride or group II-oxide layer on the surface, is provided. A first SiC substrate 41 having (0001) face and a second SiC substrate 44 having (000-1) face are prepared. An oxide film 43 is formed on the surfaces of the SiC substrates 41 and 44 by subjecting them to an oxidation treatment, and then the two SiC substrates are fusion-bonded so that the rear surface of the second SiC substrate and the surface of the first SiC substrate are brought into contact with each other. Subsequently, a part corresponding to the second SiC substrate 44 is made thin (44a). Subsequently, a thin layer 44a of the second SiC substrate is removed in accordance with required periodic reversal to be processed in stripes by using a lithography technology and reactive ion etching technology. This enables a substrate to be produced, where the (0001) face and the (000-1) face of SiC appear alternately on the surface (a region denoted by reference numeral 441 and a region denoted by 44b/43a). On the substrate thus produced, an AlGaN layer 45a to be a first cladding layer, a GaN layer 46a to be an optical guide layer, and an AlGaN layer 45c to be a second cladding layer, are grown. The group III-nitrides grow while inheriting the face orientation of SiC exposed on the surface and thereby a structure where crystal axes are spatially-periodically reversed can be attained. In other words, a second laminated structure 45a/46b/47a is formed on the first laminated structure 43a/44b, and a third laminated structure 45b/46b/47b is formed on a region where the first laminated structure 43a/44b is not formed. Finally, a stripe structure for realizing light confinement in the lateral direction, i.e. the in-plane direction of the substrate, is formed by using a known processing technology including lithography and reactive ion etching, thus completing a non-linear optical element.

4H—InGaAlN alloy based optoelectronic and electronic devices on non-polar face are formed on 4H—AlN or 4H—AlGaN on (11-20) a-face 4H—SiC substrates. Typically, non polar 4H—AlN is grown on 4H—SiC (11-20) by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Subsequently, III-V nitride device layers are grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with 4H-polytype for all of the layers. The non-polar device does not contain any built-in electric field due to the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization. The optoelectronic devices on the non-polar face exhibits higher emission efficiency with shorter emission wavelength because the electrons and holes are not spatially separated in the quantum well. Vertical device configuration for lasers and light emitting diodes (LEDs) using conductive 4H—AlGaN interlayer on conductive 4H—SiC substrates makes the chip size and series resistance smaller. The elimination of such electric field also improves the performance of high speed and high power transistors. The details of the epitaxial growth s and the processing procedures for the non-polar III-V nitride devices on the non-polar SiC substrates are also disclosed.
