摘要:
In some aspects of the invention, an n-type field-stop layer can have a total impurity of such an extent that a depletion layer spreading in response to an application of a rated voltage stops inside the n-type field-stop layer together with the total impurity of an n− type drift layer. Also, the n-type field-stop layer can have a concentration gradient such that the impurity concentration of the n-type field-stop layer decreases from a p+ type collector layer toward a p-type base layer, and the diffusion depth is 20 μm or more. Furthermore, an n+ type buffer layer of which the peak impurity concentration can be higher than that of the n-type field-stop layer at 6×1015 cm−3 or more, and one-tenth or less of the peak impurity concentration of the p+ type collector layer, can be included between the n-type field-stop layer and p+ type collector layer.

A p+ collector layer is provided in a rear surface of a semiconductor substrate which will be an n− drift layer and an n+ field stop layer is provided in a region which is deeper than the p+ collector layer formed on the rear surface side. A front surface element structure is formed on the front surface of the semiconductor substrate and then protons are radiated to the rear surface of the semiconductor substrate at an acceleration voltage corresponding to the depth at which the n+ field stop layer is formed. A first annealing process is performed at an annealing temperature corresponding to the proton irradiation to change the protons into donors, thereby forming a field stop layer. Then, annealing is performed using annealing conditions suitable for the conditions of a plurality of proton irradiation processes to recover each crystal defect formed by each proton irradiation process.

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device suppresses loss of vacuum in a chamber of an ion implanter, sag of a resist mask pattern for ion implantation, and producing a resist residue after ashing. First ion implanting process implants n-type impurity to form n+ impurity layer on the whole back surface of n− semiconductor wafer. A resist mask on the back surface of the wafer covers a part corresponding to where n+ cathode layer will be formed. A second ion implanting process implants p-type impurity using the resist mask to form p+ impurity layer in the interior of the n+ impurity layer. Second ion implanting process is split into two or more times. The dose of p-type impurity in second ion implanting process is greater than that of n-type impurity in first ion implanting process. The resist mask is removed, and p+ the n+ impurity layers activated.
摘要:
Proton irradiation is performed a plurality of times from rear surface of an n-type semiconductor substrate, which is an n− drift layer, forming an n-type FS layer having lower resistance than the n-type semiconductor substrate in the rear surface of the n− drift layer. When the proton irradiation is performed a plurality of times, the next proton irradiation is performed to as to compensate for a reduction in mobility due to disorder which remains after the previous proton irradiation. In this case, the second or subsequent proton irradiation is performed at the position of the disorder which is formed by the previous proton irradiation. In this way, even after proton irradiation and a heat treatment, the disorder is reduced and it is possible to prevent deterioration of characteristics, such as increase in leakage current. It is possible to form an n-type FS layer including a high-concentration hydrogen-related donor layer.

A method of producing a semiconductor device is disclosed in which, after proton implantation is performed, a hydrogen-induced donor is formed by a furnace annealing process to form an n-type field stop layer. A disorder generated in a proton passage region is reduced by a laser annealing process to form an n-type disorder reduction region. As such, the n-type field stop layer and the n-type disorder reduction region are formed by the proton implantation. Therefore, it is possible to provide a stable and inexpensive semiconductor device which has low conduction resistance and can improve electrical characteristics, such as a leakage current, and a method for producing the semiconductor device.
