Abstract: In a Schottky barrier diode region, a Schottky barrier diode is formed between an n-type drift layer and a metal layer, and in a body diode region, a p-type semiconductor region, a p-type semiconductor region, and a p-type semiconductor region are formed in order from a main surface side in the drift layer, and a body diode is formed between the p-type semiconductor region and the drift layer. An impurity concentration of the p-type semiconductor region is decreased lower than the impurity concentration of the p-type semiconductor regions, thereby increasing the reflux current flowing through the Schottky barrier diode and preventing the reflux current from flowing through the body diode.

Abstract: In general, in a semiconductor active element such as a normally-off JFET based on SiC in which an impurity diffusion speed is significantly lower than in silicon, gate regions are formed through ion implantation into the side walls of trenches formed in source regions. However, to ensure the performance of the JFET, it is necessary to control the area between the gate regions thereof with high precision. Besides, there is such a problem that, since a heavily doped PN junction is formed by forming the gate regions in the source regions, an increase in junction current cannot be avoided. The present invention provides a normally-off power JFET and a manufacturing method thereof and forms the gate regions according to a multi-epitaxial method which repeats a process including epitaxial growth, ion implantation, and activation annealing a plurality of times.
