摘要:
A semiconductor element 100 including an MISFET according to the present invention is characterized by having diode characteristics in a reverse direction through an epitaxial channel layer 50. The semiconductor element 100 includes a silicon carbide semiconductor substrate 10 of a first conductivity type, a semiconductor layer 20 of the first conductivity type, a body region 30 of a second conductivity type, a source region 40 of the first conductivity type, an epitaxial channel layer 50 in contact with the body region, a source electrode 45, a gate insulating film 60, a gate electrode 65 and a drain electrode 70. If the voltage applied to the gate electrode of the MISFET is smaller than a threshold voltage, the semiconductor element 100 functions as a diode in which current flows from the source electrode 45 to the drain electrode 70 through the epitaxial channel layer 50. The absolute value of the turn-on voltage of this diode is smaller than that of the turn-on voltage of a body diode that is formed of the body region and the first silicon carbide semiconductor layer.

An upper part of a SIC substrate 1 is oxidized at a temperature of 800 to 1400° C., inclusive, in an oxygen atmosphere at 1.4×102 Pa or less, thereby forming a first insulating film 2 which is a thermal oxide film of 20 nm or less in thickness. Thereafter, annealing is performed, and then a first cap layer 3, which is a nitride film of about 5 nm in thickness, is formed thereon by CVD. A second insulating film 4, which is an oxide film of about 130 nm in thickness, is deposited thereon by CVD. A second cap layer 5, which is a nitride film of about 10 nm in thickness, is formed thereon. In this manner, a gate insulating film 6 made of the first insulating film 2 through the second cap layer 5 is formed, thus obtaining a low-loss highly-reliable semiconductor device.

The present invention provides aligned fine particles that are aligned on a substrate. An organic coating film is bonded to surfaces of the fine particles is formed on the surfaces of the fine particles. An organic coating film bonded to a surface of the substrate is formed on the surface of the substrate. The organic coating film on the surfaces of the fine particles is bonded to the organic coating film on the surface of the substrate, whereby the fine particles are immobilized and aligned on the substrate. Thus, it is possible to align the fine particles of a nanometer scale in a specific direction. When fine magnetic particles are used, a magnetic recording medium for high recording density can be obtained, and a high-density magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus can be provided.

A semiconductor device having an accumulation channel SiC-MISFET structure includes a p-type SiC layer 10 formed on an SiC substrate, an n-type channel layer 20, a gate insulating film 11, a gate electrode 12, and n-type source and drain layers 13a and 13b. The channel layer 20 includes an undoped layer 22 and a δ doped layer 21 which is formed in the vicinity of the lower end of the undoped layer 22. Since the channel layer 20 includes the high-concentration δ doped layer 21 in its deeper portion, the electric field in the surface region of the channel layer is weakened, thereby allowing the current driving force to increase.
