A grating coupler has a plurality of projections separated from each other in an optical waveguide direction and a slab portion formed between any two of the projections adjacent to each other and formed integrally with them; a MOS optical modulator has a projection extending in the optical waveguide direction and slab portions formed on both sides of the projection, respectively, and formed integrally therewith. The projection of the grating coupler and the MOS optical modulator is formed of a first semiconductor layer, a second insulating layer, and a second semiconductor layer stacked successively on a first insulating layer, while the grating coupler and the MOS optical modulator each have a slab portion formed of the first semiconductor layer.
Abstract:
In a semiconductor device including a super junction structure that p-type columns and n-type columns are periodically arranged, a depth of a p-type column region in a cell region that a semiconductor element is formed is made shallower than a depth of a p-type column region in an intermediate region which surrounds the cell region. Thereby, a breakdown voltage of the cell region becomes lower than a breakdown voltage of the intermediate region. An avalanche breakdown phenomenon is caused to occur preferentially in the cell region in which even when an avalanche current is generated, the current is dispersed and smoothly flows. Thereby, it is possible to avoid local current constriction and breakage incidental thereto and consequently it becomes possible to improve avalanche resistance (an avalanche current amount with which a semiconductor device comes to be broken).
Abstract:
A super junction structure having a high aspect ratio is formed. An epitaxial layer is dividedly formed in layers using the trench fill process, and when each of the layers has been formed, trenches are formed in that layer. For example, when a first epitaxial layer has been formed, first trenches are formed in the epitaxial layer. Subsequently, when a second epitaxial layer has been formed, second trenches are formed in the epitaxial layer. Subsequently, when a third epitaxial layer has been formed, third trenches are formed in the third epitaxial layer.
