摘要:
4H—InGaAlN alloy based optoelectronic and electronic devices on non-polar face are formed on 4H—AlN or 4H—AlGaN on (11-20) a-face 4H—SiC substrates. Typically, non polar 4H—AlN is grown on 4H—SiC (11-20) by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Subsequently, III-V nitride device layers are grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with 4H-polytype for all of the layers. The non-polar device does not contain any built-in electric field due to the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization. The optoelectronic devices on the non-polar face exhibits higher emission efficiency with shorter emission wavelength because the electrons and holes are not spatially separated in the quantum well. Vertical device configuration for lasers and light emitting diodes (LEDs) using conductive 4H—AlGaN interlayer on conductive 4H—SiC substrates makes the chip size and series resistance smaller. The elimination of such electric field also improves the performance of high speed and high power transistors. The details of the epitaxial growth s and the processing procedures for the non-polar III-V nitride devices on the non-polar SiC substrates are also disclosed.

摘要:
A lateral junction field effect transistor includes a first gate electrode layer arranged in a third semiconductor layer between source/drain region layers, having a lower surface extending on the second semiconductor layer, and doped with p-type impurities more heavily than the second semiconductor layer, and a second gate electrode layer arranged in a fifth semiconductor layer between the source/drain region layers, having a lower surface extending on a fourth semiconductor layer, having substantially the same concentration of p-type impurities as the first gate electrode layer, and having the same potential as the first gate electrode layer. Thereby, the lateral junction field effect transistor has a structure, which can reduce an on-resistance while maintaining good breakdown voltage properties.

A junction field effect transistor (JFET) is provided that is capable of a high voltage resistance, high current switching operation, that operates with a low loss, and that has little variation. This JFET is provided with a gate region (2) of a second conductivity type provided on a surface of a semiconductor substrate, a source region (1) of a first conductivity type, a channel region (10) of the first conductivity type that adjoins the source region, a confining region (5) of the second conductivity type that adjoins the gate region and confines the channel region, a drain region (3) of the first conductivity type provided on a reverse face, and a drift region (4) of the first conductivity type that continuously lies in a direction of thickness of the substrate from a channel to a drain. A concentration of an impurity of the first conductivity type in the drift region and the channel region is lower than a concentration of an impurity of the first conductivity type in the source region and the drain region and a concentration of an impurity of the second conductivity type in the confining region.

A lateral JFET has a basic structure including an n-type semiconductor layer (3) formed of an n-type impurity region and a p-type semiconductor layer formed of a p-type impurity region on the n-type semiconductor layer (3). Moreover, in the p-type semiconductor layer, there are provided a p+-type gate region layer (7) extending into the n-type semiconductor layer (3) and containing p-type impurities of an impurity concentration higher than that of the n-type semiconductor layer (3) and an n+-type drain region layer (9) spaced from the p+-type gate region layer (7) by a predetermined distance and containing n-type impurities of an impurity concentration higher than that of the n-type semiconductor layer (3). With this structure, the lateral JFET can be provided that has an ON resistance further decreased while maintaining a high breakdown voltage performance.
