It is expected that both reduction of the resistance of a source region and reduction of a leakage current in a gate oxide film be achieved in an MOSFET in a silicon carbide semiconductor device. A leakage current to occur in a gate oxide film of the MOSFET is suppressed by reducing roughness at an interface between a source region and the gate oxide film. If an impurity concentration is to become high at a surface portion of the source region, the gate oxide film is formed by dry oxidation or CVD process. If the gate oxide film is formed by wet oxidation, the impurity concentration at the surface portion of the source region is controlled at a low level.

摘要:
A p base ohmic contact of a silicon carbide semiconductor device consists of a p++ layer formed by high-concentration ion implantation and a metal electrode. Since the high-concentration ion implantation performed at the room temperature significantly degrades the crystal of the p++ layer to cause a process failure, a method for implantation at high temperatures is used. In terms of switching loss and the like of devices, it is desirable that the resistivity of the p base ohmic contact should be lower. In well-known techniques, nothing is mentioned on a detailed relation among the ion implantation temperature, the ohmic contact resistivity and the process failure. Then, in the ion implantation step, the temperature of a silicon carbide wafer is maintained in a range from 175° C. to 300° C., more preferably in a range from 175° C. to 200° C. The resistivity of the p base ohmic contact using a p++ region formed by ion implantation at a temperature in a range from 175° C. to 300° C. becomes lower than that in a case where the p++ region is formed by ion implantation at a temperature over 300° C. Further, this can avoid any process failure.

摘要:
A semiconductor device and its manufacturing method are provided in which the trade-off relation between channel resistance and JFET resistance, an obstacle to device miniaturization, is improved and the same mask is used to form a source region and a base region by ion implantation. In a vertical MOSFET that uses SiC, a source region and a base region are formed by ion implantation using the same tapered mask to give the base region a tapered shape. The taper angle of the tapered mask is set to 30° to 60° when the material of the tapered mask has the same range as SiC in ion implantation, and to 20° to 45° when the material of the tapered mask is SiO2.
