Abstract
【構成】SiCウエハ上にAl膜2、Ni膜3を、この順で積層し、ウエットエッチングによりNi膜3がAl膜2より張り出した形状の2層構造のエッチングマスクとする。このエッチングマスクを用いてドライエッチングによりメサ溝8を形成するエッチング方法を含む炭化珪素半導体装置の製造方法とする。
【選択図】 図5
Description
そのような課題の一つとしては、具体的には、たとえば、SiC基板を用いてデバイスを作製する場合、トレンチゲート用のトレンチや素子の活性部を取り囲む接合終端部表面を有するメサ溝などをドライエッチングにより形成する工程における課題などがある。すなわち、SiC基板のドライエッチングにおいては、エッチングに用いるガス種やエッチングの諸条件(ICPプラズマ電力・バイアス電力・ガス圧力・ガス流量)を適切に制御しないと、メサ溝のドライエッチング中にエッチングマスク材が被エッチング材料へ付着(マイクロマスクという)することによるエッチング不良やマイクロトレンチ(エッチングで形成した凹部の底部コーナー端が余計に深く削れて形成される小溝)が発生し、問題となるのである。その理由は、このようなマイクロマスクやマイクロトレンチが発生すると、メサ溝のエッチング面に鋭角部分が形成され易くなる。このような鋭角部分がメサ溝表面に形成されると、そこに電界が集中し絶縁破壊が起こり易くなり、素子耐圧を高くすることができなくなるからである。
特許請求の範囲の請求項3記載の発明によれば、前記エッチングマスクとして用いるAl膜とNi膜との積層金属膜は、全膜厚が0.5μm乃至2μmである特許請求の範囲の請求項2記載の炭化珪素半導体装置の製造方法とする。
特許請求の範囲の請求項5記載の発明によれば、前記Al膜とNi膜との積層金属膜は、Ni膜よりAl膜のエッチング速度が大きいウエットエッチング液によりパターン形成される特許請求の範囲の請求項4記載の炭化珪素半導体装置の製造方法とする。
図1はフォトレジストパターンを示す炭化珪素半導体基板の断面図である。図2は金属積層膜からなるエッチングマスクのパターンを示す炭化珪素半導体基板の断面図である。図3は炭化珪素半導体基板のエッチング条件1から6によるエッチング形状を示す炭化珪素半導体基板の断面図である。図4は炭化珪素半導体基板のエッチング条件7から9によるエッチング形状を示す炭化珪素半導体基板の断面図である。図5はメサ溝を形成した炭化珪素半導体基板の断面図である。
前述したエッチングマスクの形成後、水洗して乾燥した後、SiC(またはSiC膜)のドライエッチング条件を変える実験を行った。すなわち、ICPプラズマを用いたドライエッチング装置でSF6/O2/Ar混合ガスを用いて、エッチング条件を最適化させることを目的として次のようにエッチング条件を変えた。下記表1にエッチング条件(ガス種、流量、ICP電力、バイアス電力、圧力、温度)を変化させた場合の選択比(SiCエッチング量/エッチングマスクエッチング量の比)を示す。
エッチング条件と選択比(選択比×印はマスクがエッチングに耐えられず、マスク下のSiC基板表面がエッチングされたことを示す)
条件4と条件5では、圧力を3Paから0.5Paに低下させたが、やはり選択比の改善効果を示さず、マスクの下のSiC基板表面12がエッチングダウンされて側壁10の長さが短くなっていることがわかる(図3の(4)と(5))。
これらの結果から、Arを添加し、温度は加熱せず(30℃)圧力は下げず(3Pa)、バイアスは低く(15W)することが条件的に適しているとわかる。
