A self-standing gallium nitride-based semiconductor single crystal substrate has a surface (Ga-face) mirror-polished, and a rear surface (N-face) having an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 1 micrometer or more and 10 micrometers or less. A nitride semiconductor device is fabricated such that, before the gallium nitride-based semiconductor single crystal substrate is attached to a substrate holder of a vapor phase growth apparatus, the substrate is adjusted such that its rear surface (N-face) has a arithmetic mean roughness Ra to be in face-to-face contact with the substrate holder.

In an LDMOS, a p+-type anode layer is formed adjacent to an n+-type drain layer. The anode layer makes no contribution to an operation of the LDMOS at a rated voltage and generates holes at the time of ESD. The holes flow into the base layer through the active layer. Electrons flow from a source layer into the drain layer through the active layer. A parasitic thyristor of the LDMOS thus operates, with the result that a source-to-drain holding voltage can be lowered when a large current flows and the current distribution can be uniformed.

A semiconductor device comprises a substrate the surface of which is formed of an insulation region, a high resistance active layer of a first conductivity type formed on the substrate, a first semiconductor region of the first conductivity type having an impurity concentration higher than that of the active layer and selectively formed on a surface of the active layer, an emitter region of the second conductivity type selectively formed on a surface of the semiconductor region, a collector region of the second conductivity type selectively formed on a surface of the active layer, and a base contact region of the first conductivity type selectively formed on a surface of the active layer in separation from the emitter region and the collector region, respectively. When an inversion layer is formed at an interface between the insulation region and the active layer due to the voltage of the substrate, the semiconductor region suppresses an emitter current flowing via the inversion layer thereby allowing the emitter current to flow on the surface side of the active layer.

A high-breakdown-voltage semiconductor device has a first offset layer and a second offset layer the dosage of which is higher than that of the first offset layer. When the gate is in the ON state, the first offset layer functions as a resurf layer. When the gate is in the OFF state, part of the charge in the first offset layer is neutralized by a drain current flowing through an element having a low ON-resistance, however, the second offset layer functions as a resurf layer. When the drain current is [Acm−1], the amount of charge of electrons is q[C], and the drift speed of carriers is &ugr;drift[cms−1], the dosage n2 of the second offset layer is given by n2≧ID/(q &ugr;drift) [cms−2].

A first conductivity type active layer having high resistance is provided on an insulation region. A second conductivity type base layer is selectively formed on a surface of the first conductivity type active layer. A first conductivity type source layer is selectively formed on a surface of the second conductivity type base layer. A first conductivity type drain layer is selectively formed on a surface of the first conductivity type active layer. A gate electrode is formed facing, through a gate insulating film, a surface region of the second conductivity type base layer between the first conductivity type source layer and the first conductivity type active layer. A plurality of first and second conductivity type semiconductor regions are formed between the second conductivity type base layer and the first conductivity type drain layer. Each of the second conductivity type semiconductor regions is arranged alternately with each of the first conductivity type semiconductor regions. A drain current flows from the first conductivity type source layer to the first conductivity type drain layer through the first conductivity type semiconductor regions. Bottom portions of the second conductivity type semiconductor regions are shallower than the interface between the first conductivity type active layer and the insulation region. According to the present invention, low ON resistance and high withstand voltage are realized at the same time.

The drift region is selectively provided in a drain layer of the first conductivity type from a surface of the drain layer to an inside of the drain layer. The base region is selectively provided in the drift region from a surface of the drift region to an inside of the drift region. The source region is selectively provided in the base region from a surface of the base region to an inside of the base region. The gate electrode penetrates from a part of the source region through the base region adjacent to the part of the source region to reach a part of the drift region in a direction substantially parallel to a major surface of the drain layer. The contact region is selectively provided on the surface of the drift region. The contact region contains an impurity having a concentration higher than an impurity concentration of the base region. The drain electrode is connected to the drain layer. The source electrode is connected to the source region and the contact region. The contact region extends from a side of the drain layer toward the drift region and does not contact the drain layer.
