摘要:
A normally-off type junction FET in which a channel resistance is reduced without lowering its blocking voltage is provided. In a junction FET formed with using a substrate made of silicon carbide, an impurity concentration of a channel region (second epitaxial layer) is made higher than an impurity concentration of a first epitaxial layer to be a drift layer. The channel region is formed of a first region in which a channel width is constant and a second region below the first region in which the channel width becomes wider toward the drain (substrate) side. A boundary between the first epitaxial layer and the second epitaxial layer is positioned in the second region in which the channel width becomes wider toward the drain (substrate) side.

There is no effective method for fabricating a semiconductor power device containing UMOSFET possessing large channel mobility and whose threshold voltage can be lowered with no loss in blocking voltage. A semiconductor device with large blocking voltage is provided utilizing silicon carbide trench MOSFET possessing both narrow regions where the p body concentration is low, and wide regions where the p body concentration is high.
摘要:
A normally-off type silicon carbide junction FET has a problem that the gate thereof is not easy to use due to inferiority in the characteristics of it. This problem occurs because in order to achieve normally-off, the gate voltage should be off at 0V and at the same time, the ON-state gate voltage should be suppressed to about 2.5V to prevent the passage of an electric current through a pn junction between gate and source. Accordingly, a range from the threshold voltage to the ON-state gate voltage is only from about 1 V to 2V and it is difficult to control the gate voltage. Provided in the present invention is an electronic circuit device obtained by coupling, to a gate of a normally-off type silicon carbide junction FET, an element having a capacitance equal to or a little smaller than the gate capacitance of the junction FET.

摘要:
The leakage current generated in a pn junction region between a gate and a source is reduced in a junction FET using a silicon carbide substrate. In a trench junction FET using a silicon carbide substrate, nitrogen is introduced into a sidewall and a bottom surface of a trench, thereby forming an n type layer and an n+ type layer on a surface of the trench. In this manner, the pn junction region corresponding to the junction region between a p+ type gate region and an n+ type source region is exposed on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate instead of on the damaged sidewall of the trench, and also the exposed region thereof is narrowed. Accordingly, the leakage current in the pn junction region can be reduced.
