Abstract:
To realize a transistor of normally-off type having a high mobility and a high breakdown voltage. A compound semiconductor layer is formed over a substrate, has both a concentration of p-type impurities and a concentration of n-type impurities less than 1×1016/cm3, and includes a group III nitride compound. A well is a p-type impurity layer and formed in the compound semiconductor layer. A source region is formed within the well and is an n-type impurity layer. A low-concentration n-type region is formed in the compound semiconductor layer and is linked to the well. A drain region is formed in the compound semiconductor layer and is located on a side opposite to the well via the low-concentration n-type region. The drain region is an n-type impurity layer.
Abstract:
In a vertical transistor, to raise a drain withstand voltage while lowering an on-resistance. A drift layer 120 is formed above a drain layer 110, and has a first conductivity type. A gate insulating film 170 is formed on a side wall of a concave portion 142. A bottom surface insulating film 172 is formed on a bottom surface of the concave portion 142. A gate electrode 180 is buried in the concave portion 142. A source layer 150 is formed in a channel layer 140. A first conductivity type layer 130 is located between the channel layer 140 and the drift layer 120. An impurity concentration of the first conductivity type layer 130 is higher than an impurity concentration of the drift layer 120.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a semiconductor device whose breakdown voltage is made high by controlling local concentration of an electric field. A source region faces a second plane, one of side faces of a groove part, and a part thereof extends in a direction in parallel to a nodal line of first and second planes. A drift region faces a third plane being the other side face of the groove part opposite to the second plane with a part thereof extending in a direction parallel to the nodal line of the first plane and the third plane, and is formed at a lower concentration than the source region. The drain region is provided so as to be placed on the other side of the drift region opposite to the groove part and so as to touch the drift region, and is formed at a higher concentration than the drift region.
