摘要： Ion implantation is carried out to form a p-well region and a source region in parts of a high resistance SiC layer on a SiC substrate, and a carbon film is deposited over the substrate. With the carbon film deposited over the substrate, annealing for activating the implanted dopant ions is performed, and then the carbon film is removed. Thus, a smooth surface having hardly any surface roughness caused by the annealing is obtained. Furthermore, if a channel layer is epitaxially grown, the surface roughness of the channel layer is smaller than that of the underlying layer. Since the channel layer having a smooth surface is provided, it is possible to obtain a MISFET with a high current drive capability.

摘要： A SiC bulk substrate whose top face has been flattened is placed in a vertical thin film growth system to be annealed in an inert gas atmosphere. A material gas of Si is then supplied at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. at a substrate temperature of 1200° C. through 1600° C. Subsequently, the diluent gas is changed to a hydrogen gas at a temperature of 1600° C., and material gases of Si and carbon are supplied with nitrogen intermittently supplied, so as to deposit SiC thin films on the SiC bulk substrate. In a flat δ-doped multilayered structure thus formed, an average height of macro steps formed on the top face and on interfaces therein is 30 nm or less. When the resultant substrate is used, a semiconductor device with a high breakdown voltage and high mobility can be realized.

摘要： An upper part of a SIC substrate 1 is oxidized at a temperature of 800 to 1400° C., inclusive, in an oxygen atmosphere at 1.4×102 Pa or less, thereby forming a first insulating film 2 which is a thermal oxide film of 20 nm or less in thickness. Thereafter, annealing is performed, and then a first cap layer 3, which is a nitride film of about 5 nm in thickness, is formed thereon by CVD. A second insulating film 4, which is an oxide film of about 130 nm in thickness, is deposited thereon by CVD. A second cap layer 5, which is a nitride film of about 10 nm in thickness, is formed thereon. In this manner, a gate insulating film 6 made of the first insulating film 2 through the second cap layer 5 is formed, thus obtaining a low-loss highly-reliable semiconductor device.

摘要： A semiconductor device having an accumulation channel SiC-MISFET structure includes a p-type SiC layer 10 formed on an SiC substrate, an n-type channel layer 20, a gate insulating film 11, a gate electrode 12, and n-type source and drain layers 13a and 13b. The channel layer 20 includes an undoped layer 22 and a δ doped layer 21 which is formed in the vicinity of the lower end of the undoped layer 22. Since the channel layer 20 includes the high-concentration δ doped layer 21 in its deeper portion, the electric field in the surface region of the channel layer is weakened, thereby allowing the current driving force to increase.

摘要： A power device having a transistor structure is formed by using a wide band gap semiconductor. A current path 20 of the power device includes: a JFET (junction) region 2, a drift region 3, and a substrate 4, which have ON resistances exhibiting a positive temperature dependence; and a channel region 1, which has an ON resistance exhibiting a negative temperature dependence. A temperature-induced change in the ON resistance of the entire power device is derived by allowing a temperature-induced change ΔRp in the ON resistance in the JFET (junction) region 2, the drift region 3, and the substrate 4, which have ON resistances exhibiting a positive temperature dependence, and a temperature-induced change ΔRn in the ON resistance in the channel region 1, which has an ON resistance exhibiting a negative temperature dependence, to cancel out each other. With respect to an ON resistance of the entire power device at −30° C., a ratio of change in the ON resistance of the entire power device when a temperature of the power device is varied from −30° C. to 100° C. is 50% or less.

摘要： An accumulation-mode MISFET comprises: a high-resistance SiC layer 102 epitaxially grown on a SiC substrate 101; a well region 103; an accumulation channel layer 104 having a multiple δ-doped layer formed on the surface region of the well region 103; a contact region 105; a gate insulating film 108; and a gate electrode 110. The accumulation channel layer 104 has a structure in which undoped layers 104b and δ-doped layers 104a allowing spreading movement of carriers to the undoped layers 104b under a quantum effect are alternately stacked. A source electrode 111 is provided which enters into the accumulation channel layer 104 and the contact region 105 to come into direct contact with the contact region 105. It becomes unnecessary that a source region is formed by ion implantation, leading to reduction in fabrication cost.
