    摘要: A vertical type power MOSFET remarkably reduces its ON-resistance per area. A substantial groove formation in which a gate structure is constituted is performed beforehand utilizing the LOCOS method before the formation of a p-type base layer and an n.sup.+ -type source layer. The p-type base layer and the n.sup.+ -type source layer are then formed by double diffusion in a manner of self-alignment with respect to a LOCOS oxide film, simultaneously with which channels are set at sidewall portions of the LOCOS oxide film. Thereafter the LOCOS oxide film is removed to provide a U-groove so as to constitute the gate structure. Namely, the channels are set by the double diffusion of the manner of self-alignment with respect to the LOCOS oxide film, so that the channels, which are set at the sidewall portions at both sides of the groove, provide a structure of exact bilateral symmetry, there is no positional deviation of the U-groove with respect to the base layer end, and the length of the bottom face of the U-groove can be made minimally short. Therefore, the unit cell size is greatly reduced, and the ON-resistance per area is greatly decreased.

    摘要: A manufacturing method of a MOSFET having a channel part on the side surface of a groove, which does not permit the introduction of defects or contaminant into the channel part and which can make the shape of the groove uniform. An n.sup.- -type epitaxial layer having a low impurity concentration is formed on a main surface of an n.sup.+ -type semiconductor substrate. This surface is specified as a main surface, and chemical dry etching is applied to a specified region of this main surface. A region including a surface generated by the chemical dry etching is selectively oxidized to form a selective oxide film to a specified thickness. Following this process, p-type and n-type impurities are doubly diffused from the main surface to define the length of the channel and form a base layer and a source layer. Furthermore, the n.sup.+ -type semiconductor substrate is specified as a drain layer. After the double diffusion, a gate electrode is formed through a gate oxide film and a source electrode and a drain electrode are formed.

    摘要: A vehicular generator motor performing generator operation and motor operation is disclosed. The generator motor comprises an AC-DC converter means and a switching means. The converter means is composed of a plurality of MOSFETs and connected between each armature coil and a vehicular storage battery. Alternating current produced across the coils is converted into a direct current for charging the battery by the AC-DC converter means in generator operation mode. In motor operation mode, the DC output from the battery is converted into an alternating current for setting up a rotating magnetic field by the converter means, and the battery output is fed to the armature coils. The mode of operation of the MOSFETs is switched between these two modes by the switching means. The rotating field produces a certain phase difference with the magnetic field developed by the rotating magnetic poles. The MOSFETs are made of SiC having a smaller resistivity than that of Si. This ensures a high withstand voltage necessary during power generation. Loss caused by large current flowing in the motor operation mode is reduced. Good driving torque can be obtained.

    摘要: The apparatus includes an ignition instruction signal generating unit for repeatedly generating a first ignition instruction signal instructing an AC discharging duration and a second ignition instruction signal instructing the current flow time of a first primary coil at each ignition timing; and an ignition control circuit unit for causing the first and second switching elements to perform a push-pull operation for a predetermined period of time upon reception of a given ignition instruction signal. When it is detected from a current detection signal from the current detection element upon reception of the first ignition instruction signal that the current of one of the first and second closed circuits has reached a predetermined value, a signal for turning OFF the one of the first and second closed circuits is supplied to one of the first and second switching elements and a signal for turning ON the other closed circuit is supplied to the other switching element so as to enable the push-pull operation of the switching elements. Accordingly, one of the switching elements is turned ON in response to the second ignition instruction signal for the current flow time of the primary thereby, and is then turned OFF. Thus, an ignition timing can be determined precisely, and a sufficiently high voltage can be obtained.
