摘要:
In an SiC vertical MOSFET comprising a channel region and an n-type inverted electron guide path formed through ion implantation in a low-concentration p-type deposition film, the width of the channel region may be partly narrowed owing to implantation mask positioning failure, and the withstand voltage of the device may lower, and therefore, the device could hardly satisfy both low on-resistance and high withstand voltage. In the invention, second inverted layers (41, 42) are provided at the same distance on the right and left sides from the inverted layer (40) to be the electron guide path in the device, and the inverted layers are formed through simultaneous ion implantation using the same mask, and accordingly, the length of all the channel regions in the device is made uniform, thereby solving the problem.

摘要:
In the SiC vertical MOSFET having a low-concentration p-type deposition film provided therein with a channel region and a base region resulting from reverse-implantation to n-type through ion implantation, dielectric breakdown of gate oxide film used to occur at the time of off, thereby preventing a further blocking voltage enhancement. This problem has been resolved by interposing of a low-concentration n-type deposition film between a low-concentration p-type deposition film and a high-concentration gate layer and selectively forming of a base region resulting from reverse-implantation to n-type through ion implantation in the low-concentration p-type deposition film so that the thickness of deposition film between the high-concentration gate layer and each of channel region and gate oxide layer is increased.

摘要:
To reduce the field intensity on the termination surface, almost not affecting the on-characteristic, a drift layer is made of two layers, an n-layer and n− layer, and a termination region is formed on the surface of the above n− layer. An impurity concentration ratio between the n− layer and the n-layer is less than 1:2, and the thickness of the n− layer is less than that of a source n+ layer. Reliability can be secured even in a high temperature operation.
摘要:
The present semiconductor switching device comprises a silicon carbide single crystal of hexagonal symmetry having a first conductive type and a semiconductor region of a second conductive type opposite to the first conductive type and locating in the silicon carbide single crystal. The silicon carbide single crystal of the first conductive type and the semiconductor region of the seconductive type form a pn junction. The pn junction interface has an interface extended in the depth direction from the surface of the silicon carbide single crystal, and the interface includes a crystal plane in parallel to the orientation of the silicon carbide single crystal or approximately in parallel thereto, thereby reducing the leak current.
