摘要:
An anode region 106 is formed on a bottom portion of a trench 105 in which a gate electrode 108 is formed or in a drift region 102 immediately under the trench 105. A contact hole 110 is formed in the trench 105 at a depth reaching the anode region 106. A source electrode 112 is embedded in the contact hole 110 while interposing an inner wall insulating film 111 therebetween. The anode region 106 and the source electrode 112 are electrically connected to each other in a state of being insulated from the gate electrode 108 by the inner wall insulating film 111.

A method for producing a semiconductor device includes forming a first hetero-semiconductor layer as a hetero-junction to a surface of a silicon carbide epitaxial layer. This layer is composed of polycrystalline silicon having a band gap different from that of the silicon carbide epitaxial layer. An etching stopper layer composed of a material having a different etching rate from that of the polycrystalline silicon is formed on the surface of the first hetero-semiconductor layer. A second hetero-semiconductor layer composed of polycrystalline silicon is formed so that the second hetero-semiconductor layer contacts the surface of the first hetero-semiconductor layer and the etching stopper layer. The etching stopper layer is removed, the first hetero-semiconductor layer is thermally oxidized, and the thermally oxidized portion is then removed.
