摘要:
In order to prevent an etch-down phenomenon in a gate electrode (106), a source electrode (108) is connected to an upper major surface of a semiconductor substrate (160) through openings (112, 112a) of a protective film (107), while a gate wire (109) is connected to the gate electrode (106) through an opening (111). The opening (112, 112a) are formed by dry etching, whereby the source electrode (108) is reliably insulated from the gate electrode (106). On the other hand, the opening (111) is formed by wet etching, whereby the gate electrode (106) is not etched down. Thus, it is possible to prevent short-circuiting defectiveness across the gate electrode (106) and the semiconductor substrate (160) resulting from an etch-down phenomenon of the gate electrode (106) while guaranteeing electrical insulation between the gate electrode (106) and the source electrode (108).

An insulated gate bipolar transistor comprises an insulation film (7) formed on a channel region (6) and a gate electrode (8) formed on the insulation film (7). The end portion of the gate electrode (8) has recesses so that the gage electrode (8) covers part of the channel region (6) at a predetermined rate. The rate may be made small to increase a channel resistance so that an excessive current at the time of load short-circuiting can be suppressed. In place of the recesses, a step structure may be provided. Further the gate electrode (8) may cover part of the channel region (6) without providing the recesses.

A semiconductor device having the present high withstand voltage power device IGBT has at a back surface a p collector layer with boron injected in an amount of approximately 3×1013/cm2 with an energy of approximately 50 KeV to a depth of approximately 0.5 μm, and an n+ buffer layer with phosphorus injected in an amount of approximately 3×1012/cm2 with an energy of 120 KeV to a depth of approximately 20 μm. To control lifetime, a semiconductor substrate is exposed to protons at the back surface. Optimally, it is exposed to protons at a dose of approximately 1×1011/cm2 to a depth of approximately 32 μm as measured from the back surface. Thus snapback phenomenon can be eliminated and an improved low saturation voltage (Vce (sat))-offset voltage (Eoff) tradeoff can be achieved.
