摘要:
A manufacturing method of a SiC single crystal includes a first growth process and a re-growth process. In the first growth process, a first seed crystal made of SiC is used to grow a first SiC single crystal. In the re-growth process, a plurality of growth steps is performed for (n−1) times. In a k-th growth step, a k-th seed crystal is cut out from a grown (k−1)-th SiC single crystal, and the k-th seed crystal is used to grow a k-th SiC single crystal (n≧2 and 2≦k≦n). When an offset angle of a growth surface of the k-th seed crystal is defined as θk, at least in one of the plurality of growth steps, the offset angle θk is smaller than the offset angle θk-1.

When an SiC single crystal having a large diameter of a {0001} plane is produced by repeating a-plane growth, the a-plane growth of the SiC single crystal is carried out so that a ratio Sfacet (=S1×100/S2) of an area (S1) of a Si-plane side facet region to a total area (S2) of the growth plane is maintained at 20% or less.

In a manufacturing method of a silicon carbide single crystal, a seed crystal made of silicon carbide is prepared. The seed crystal has a growth surface and a stacking fault generation region and includes a threading dislocation that reaches the growth surface. The growth surface is inclined at a predetermined angle from a (0001) plane. The stacking fault generation region is configured to cause a stacking fault in the silicon carbide single crystal when the silicon carbide single crystal is grown. The stacking fault generation region is located at an end portion of the growth surface in an offset direction that is a direction of a vector defined by projecting a normal vector of the (0001) plane onto the growth surface. The seed crystal is joined to a pedestal, and the silicon carbide single crystal is grown on the growth surface of the seed crystal.

A semiconductor device has a dielectric strength for a gate oxide film at a trench bottom that is higher than that of side walls used for channels. An n+0 type substrate 1 having substrate plane orientation of (110) is prepared, and the side walls of a trench where channels are formed are in (100) planes. The other, non-channel forming, side walls of the trench are in (110) planes. Thus, the growth rate of the gate oxide film 7 in the non-channel forming side walls and the trench bottom is faster than that in the channel forming side walls. As a result, the film thickness at the non-channel-forming side walls and the trench bottom is greater than that of the channel-forming side walls. Accordingly, the device has high mobility, and there is no drop of dielectric strength due to partial reduction of the thickness of the gate oxide film 7. This achieves both a reduction of the ON resistance and an increase in the dielectric strength of the semiconductor device.
