摘要:
Source/drain diffusion regions are formed on the silicon substrate such that the source/drain diffusion regions sandwich a gate electrode from both sides on the silicon substrate. Sidewall oxide films are formed, one on each side surface of the gate electrode. Recessed portions are formed in the extension portions E beneath the sidewall oxide films. Source/drain electrodes are formed to fill the recessed portions. Thus, the sheet resistance of the respective regions including a pair of source/drain diffusion regions and source/drain electrodes is reduced, and a semiconductor device with a field-effect transistor having an improved current drivability is obtained.

A polysilicon nitride film is formed to cover a polysilicon gate. By heat treatment of the silicon nitride film in an oxygen atmosphere, a silicon oxinitride film is formed. By anisotropically etching the silicon oxinitride film and the silicon nitride film, a sidewall insulating film is formed. By epitaxial growth, selective silicon films of a prescribed film thickness are formed on source and drain regions. During this period, silicon islands are not deposited on the surface of sidewall insulating film. Consequently, a semiconductor device including a transistor of a superior electrical insulation can be obtained.

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, which is an antioxidant film for preventing oxidation of the Ta 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 as an antioxidant film is formed on the entire upper surface of the Ta film which forms the p electrode, to prevent oxidation of the Ta film. This inhibits the resistance 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 low-resistance p electrode.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device provides a semiconductor device with a gallium-nitride-based semiconductor structure that allows long-term stable operation without degradation in device performance. After formation of an insulation film on a surface other than on a ridge surface, an oxygen-containing gas such as O2, O3, NO, N2O, or NO2 is supplied to oxidize a p-type GaN contact layer from the surface and to thereby form an oxide film on the surface of the p-type GaN contact layer. Then, a p-type electrode that establishes contact with the p-type GaN contact layer is formed by evaporation or sputtering on the oxide film and on the insulation film. Heat treatment is subsequently performed at temperatures between 400 and 700° C. in an atmosphere containing a nitrogen-containing gas such as N2 or NH3 or an inert gas such as Ar or He.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided, which can reduce the contact resistance of an ohmic electrode to a p-type nitride semiconductor layer and can achieve long-term stable operation. In forming, in an electrode forming step, a p-type ohmic electrode of a metal film by successive lamination of a Pd film which is a first p-type ohmic electrode and a Ta film which is a second p-type ohmic electrode on a p-type GaN contact layer, the metal film is formed to include an oxygen atom. In the presence of an oxygen atom in the metal film, then in a heat-treatment step, the p-type ohmic electrode of the metal film is heat-treated in an atmosphere that contains no oxygen atom-containing gas.
