    Abstract: A Schottky barrier diode includes a semiconductor substrate made of gallium oxide, a drift layer made of gallium oxide and provided on the semiconductor substrate, an anode electrode brought into Schottky contact with the drift layer, and a cathode electrode brought into ohmic contact with the semiconductor substrate. The drift layer has a plurality of trenches formed in a position overlapping the anode electrode in a plan view. Among the plurality of trenches, a trench positioned at the end portion has a selectively increased width. Thus, the curvature radius of the bottom portion of the trench is increased, or an edge part constituted by the bottom portion as viewed in a cross section is divided into two parts. As a result, an electric field to be applied to the bottom portion of the trench positioned at the end portion is mitigated, making dielectric breakdown less likely to occur.

    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a Schottky barrier diode less apt to cause dielectric breakdown due to concentration of an electric field. A Schottky barrier diode includes a semiconductor substrate 20 made of gallium oxide, a drift layer 30 made of gallium oxide and provided on the semiconductor substrate 20, an anode electrode 40 brought into Schottky contact with the drift layer 30, and a cathode electrode 50 brought into ohmic contact with the semiconductor substrate 20. The drift layer 30 has an outer peripheral trench 10 that surrounds the anode electrode 40 in a plan view, and the outer peripheral trench 10 is filled with a semiconductor material 11 having a conductivity type opposite to that of the drift layer 30. An electric field is dispersed by the presence of the thus configured outer peripheral trench 10. This alleviates electric field concentration on the corner of the anode electrode 40, making it less apt to cause dielectric breakdown.

    Abstract: A crucible for growing an oxide single crystal comprises a body that includes an oxide containing an additive. In the oxide of the body, a plurality of regions arranged along one axis is set and, among the regions, a concentration of the additive in a first region is higher than a concentration of the additive in a second region. A crystal manufacturing method grows an oxide single crystal by moving a position of an exposed surface of a melt in a crucible along a vertical direction while keeping a seed crystal in contact with the exposed surface. In a gallium oxide single crystal, a concentration of an additive along a growth axis may be within the range of ±5% of an average concentration of the additive.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor layer including first and second electrode forming surfaces and side surface, an anode electrode formed on the first electrode forming surface, a cathode electrode formed on the second electrode forming surface; an insulating film continuously formed from the first electrode forming surface to the side surface so as to cover the first edge. The side surface of the semiconductor layer is covered with the insulating film, so that a leak current flowing along the side surface is reduced. Further, the side surface is protected by the insulating film, making cracking, chipping, cleavage, and the like less likely to occur.

    Abstract: The transparent conductor includes a transparent substrate, a first metal oxide layer, a metal layer, and a second metal oxide layer laminated. At least one of the first and the second metal oxide layers contains four components of Al2O3, ZnO, SnO2, and Ga2O3. X, Y, and Z are within a region surrounded by line segments between point a, point b, point c, point d, point e, and point f, in terms of (X, Y, Z) coordinates shown in a ternary diagram in FIG. 2, or on the line segments where X is a total molar ratio of the Al2O3 and the ZnO, Y is a molar ratio of the SnO2, and Z is a molar ratio of the Ga2O3, relative to the total amount of the four components. A molar ratio of the Al2O3 relative to the total amount of the four components is 1.5 to 3.5% by mole.

    Abstract: A crucible for growing a single-crystal in which a raw material melt for growing the single-crystal is solidified while being accommodated includes a side wall part configured to surround the raw material melt and a bottom part configured to support the raw material melt while being continuous with the side wall part, in which the side wall part has circumferential length redundancy inside the side wall part in a cross-sectional view. The side wall part has a portion where the circumference length is redundant inside any portion in the cross-sectional view, and when the crucible for growing a single-crystal is cooled in a cooling process after the single-crystal growth, the portion where the circumference length is redundant inside in the cross-sectional view is expanded to an outside of the crucible for growing a single-crystal.
