    摘要: A semiconductor device includes an anode electrode in Schottky contact with an n-type drift layer formed in an SiC substrate and a JTE region formed outside the anode electrode. The JTE region is made up of a first p-type zone formed in an upper portion of the drift layer under an edge of the anode electrode and a second p-type zone formed outside the first p-type zone having a lower surface impurity concentration than the first p-type zone. The second p-type zone is provided 15 μm or more outwardly away from the edge of the anode electrode. The surface impurity concentration of the first p-type zone ranges from 1.8×1013 to 4×1013 cm−2, and that of the second p-type zone ranges from 1×1013 to 2.5×1013 cm−2.

    摘要: On a major surface of an n-type silicon carbide inclined substrate (2) is formed an n-type voltage-blocking layer (3) made of silicon carbide by means of epitaxial growth. On the n-type voltage-blocking layer (3) is formed a p-type silicon carbide region (4) rectangular when viewed from above. On the surface of the p-type silicon carbide region (4) is formed a p-type contact electrode (5). In the p-type silicon carbide region (4), the periphery of the p-type silicon carbide region (4) that is parallel with a (11-20) plane (14a) of the silicon carbide crystal, which is liable to cause avalanche breakdown, is located on the short side. In this manner, the dielectric strength of a silicon carbide semiconductor device can be improved.

    摘要: In a termination structure in which a JTE layer is provided, a level or defect existing at an interface between a semiconductor layer and an insulating film, or a minute amount of adventitious impurities that infiltrate into the semiconductor interface from the insulating film or from an outside through the insulating film becomes a source or a breakdown point of a leakage current, which deteriorates a breakdown voltage. A semiconductor device includes: an n− type semiconductor layer formed on an n+ type semiconductor substrate; a first electrode that is formed on the n− type semiconductor layer and functions as a Schottky electrode; a GR layer that is a first p type semiconductor layer formed on a surface of the n− type semiconductor layer below an end of the first electrode and a perimeter thereof; a JTE layer that is formed of a second p type semiconductor layer formed on a bottom and a lateral surface of a groove arranged in a ring shape around the GR layer apart from the GR layer, in a surface of the n− type semiconductor layer; an insulating film provided so as to cover the GR layer and the JTE layer; and a second electrode that is an Ohmic electrode formed below a rear surface of the n+ type semiconductor substrate.
