摘要:
A trench is formed extending from a surface of a hetero semiconductor region of a polycrystal silicon to the drain region. Further, a driving point of the field effect transistor, where a gate insulating film, the hetero semiconductor region and the drain region are adjoined, is formed at a position spaced apart from a side wall of the trench.

A semiconductor device, includes: a first conductivity-semiconductor substrate; a hetero semiconductor region for forming a hetero junction with the first conductivity-semiconductor substrate; a gate electrode adjacent to a part of the hetero junction by way of a gate insulating film; a drain electrode connecting to the first conductivity-semiconductor substrate; a source electrode connecting to the hetero semiconductor region; and a second conductivity-semiconductor region formed on a part of a first face of the first conductivity-semiconductor substrate in such a configuration as to oppose the gate electrode via the gate insulating film, the gate insulating film, the hetero semiconductor region and the first conductivity-semiconductor substrate contacting each other to thereby form a triple contact point. A first face of the second conductivity-semiconductor region has such an impurity concentration that allows a field from the gate electrode to form an inversion layer on the first face of the second conductivity-semiconductor region.

Each insulating gate portion forms a channel in part of a first well region located between a drift region and source region. A first main electrode forms junctions with part of the drift region exposed in the major surface of the drift region to constitute unipolar diodes and is connected to the first well regions and the source regions. The plurality of insulating gate portions have linear patterns parallel to each other when viewed in the normal direction of the major surface. Between each pair of adjacent insulating gate portions, junction portions in which the first main electrode forms junctions with the drift region and the first well regions are arranged along the direction that the insulating gate portions extend. The channels are formed at least in the normal direction of the major surface.

Methods of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a semiconductor substrate and a hetero semiconductor region including a semiconductor material having a band gap different from that of the semiconductor substrate and contacting a portion of a first surface of the semiconductor substrate are taught herein, as are the resulting devices. The method comprises depositing a first insulating film on exposed portions of the first surface of the semiconductor substrate and on exposed surfaces of the hetero semiconductor material and forming a second insulating film between the first insulating film and facing surfaces of the semiconductor substrate and the hetero semiconductor region by performing a thermal treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere.
摘要:
A semiconductor substrate made of a semiconductor material is prepared, and a hetero semiconductor region is formed on the semiconductor substrate to form a heterojunction in an interface between the hetero semiconductor region and the semiconductor substrate. The hetero semiconductor region is made of a semiconductor material having a bandgap different from that of the semiconductor material, and a part of the hetero semiconductor region includes a film thickness control portion whose film thickness is thinner than that of the other part thereof. By oxidizing the hetero semiconductor region with a thickness equal to the film thickness of the film thickness control portion, a gate insulating film adjacent to the heterojunction is formed. A gate electrode is formed on the gate insulating film. This makes it possible to manufacture a semiconductor device including the gate insulating film with a lower ON resistance, and with a higher insulating characteristic and reliability.

A hetero semiconductor corner region, which is a current-concentration relief region that keeps a reverse bias current from concentrating on the convex corner, is arranged in a hetero semiconductor region. Thereby, a current concentration on the convex corner can be prevented. As a result, an interrupting performance can be improved at the time of interruption, and at the same time, the generation of the hot spot where in a specific portion is prevented at the time of conduction to suppress deterioration in a specific portion, thereby ensuring a long-term reliability. Further, when the semiconductor chip is used in an L load circuit or the like, for example, at the time of conduction or during a transient response time to the interrupted state, in an index such as a short resistant load amount and an avalanche resistant amount, which are indexes of a breakdown tolerance when overcurrent or overvoltage occurs, the current concentration on a specific portion can be prevented, and thus, these breakdown tolerances can also be improved.
