A nitride semiconductor device and its manufacturing method are provided which are capable of achieving low-resistance ohmic properties and high adhesion. A nitride semiconductor device has an n-type GaN substrate over which a semiconductor element is formed and an n-electrode as a metal electrode formed over the back surface of the GaN substrate. A surface denatured layer functioning as a carrier supply layer is provided between the GaN substrate and the n-electrode. The surface denatured layer is formed by denaturing the back surface of the GaN substrate by causing it to react with a material that contains silicon.

A nitride semiconductor device includes an n-type GaN substrate with a semiconductor device formed thereon and an n-type electrode which is a metal electrode formed on the rear surface of the GaN substrate. A surface modified layer and a reaction layer are interposed between the GaN substrate and n-type electrode. The surface modified layer serves as a carrier supplying layer, and is formed by causing the rear surface of the GaN substrate to react with a Si-containing plasma to be modified. The reaction layer is generated by partially removing a deposited material deposited on the surface modified layer by cleaning to generate a deposited layer and then causing Ti contained in a first metal layer and the deposited layer to partially react by heat treatment.

摘要:
A nitride semiconductor device with a p electrode having no resistance between itself and other electrodes, and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. A p electrode is formed of a first Pd film, a Ta film, and a second Pd film, and on a p-type contact layer of a nitride semiconductor. On the second Pd film, a pad electrode is formed. The second Pd film is formed on the entire upper surface of the Ta film which forms part of the p electrode, and serves as an antioxidant film that prevents oxidation of the Ta film. Preventing oxidation of the Ta film, the second Pd film can reduce the resistance that may exist between the p electrode and the pad electrode, thereby preventing a failure in contact between the p electrode and the pad electrode and providing the p electrode with low resistance.
