    摘要: In a semiconductor device of the present invention, the top surface of an n-type silicon carbide layer formed on a silicon carbide substrate is miscut from the (0001) plane in the direction. A gate electrode, a source electrode and other elements are arranged such that in a channel region, the dominating current flows along a miscut direction. In the present invention, a gate insulating film is formed and then heat treatment is performed in an atmosphere containing a group-V element. In this way, the interface state density at the interface between the silicon carbide layer and the gate insulating film is reduced. As a result, the electron mobility becomes higher in a miscut direction A than in the direction perpendicular to the miscut direction A.

    摘要: An active region 30 is formed on a substrate 3, which is made of SiC, GaN, or GaAs, for example, by alternately layering undoped layers 22 with a thickness of for example about 50 nm and n-type doped layers 23 with a thickness (for example, about 10 nm) that is thin enough that quantum effects can be achieved. Carriers spread out into the undoped layers 22 from sub-bands of the n-type doped layers 23 that occur due to quantum effects. In the undoped layers 22, which have a low concentration of impurities, the scattering of impurities is reduced, and therefore a high carrier mobility can be obtained there, and when the entire active region 30 has become depleted, a large withstand voltage value can be obtained due to the undoped layers 22 by taking advantage of the fact that there are no more carriers in the active region 30.

    摘要: A DMOS device (or IGBT) includes an SiC substrate 2, an n-SiC layer 3 (drift region) formed in an epitaxial layer, a gate insulating film 6, a gate electrode 7a, a source electrode 7b formed to surround the gate electrode 7a, a drain electrode 7c formed on the lower surface of the SiC substrate 2, a p-SiC layer 4, an n+ SiC layer 3 formed to be present from under edges of the source electrode 7b to under associated edges of the gate electrode 7a. In addition, the device includes an n-type doped layer 10a containing a high concentration of nitrogen and an undoped layer 10b, which are stacked in a region in the surface portion of the epitaxial layer except the region where the n+ SiC layer 5 is formed. By utilizing a quantum effect, the device can have its on-resistance decreased, and can also have its breakdown voltage increased when in its off state.
