Abstract
Description
前記第1半導体領域の導電型は第1導電型である。前記第1半導体領域はSiCを含む。
前記第2半導体領域は、前記第1半導体領域の上に設けられ、第1面を有する。前記第2半導体領域の導電型は第2導電型である。前記第2半導体領域は、SiCを含む。
前記第3半導体領域は、前記第2半導体領域の上に設けられる。前記第3半導体領域の導電型は、第1導電型である。前記第3半導体領域は、SiCを含む。
前記第1電極は、前記第1半導体領域と導通する。
前記第2電極は、前記第3半導体領域と導通する。
前記制御電極は、前記第2半導体領域の上に設けられる。
前記絶縁膜は、前記第2半導体領域と前記制御電極との間に設けられる。前記絶縁膜は、前記第1面及び前記制御電極と接し、窒素を含む。前記窒素の濃度分布のピークの位置は、前記第1面から2ナノメートル(nm)以上10nm未満離れる。前記ピークにおける半値幅は、10nm以上20nm未満である。
また、以下の説明において、n+、n、n−及びp+、p、p−の表記は、各導電型における不純物濃度の相対的な高低を表す。すなわち、n+はnよりもn型の不純物濃度が相対的に高く、n−はnよりもn型の不純物濃度が相対的に低いことを示す。また、p+はpよりもp型の不純物濃度が相対的に高く、p−はpよりもp型の不純物濃度が相対的に低いことを示す。
また、以下の説明では、一例として、第1導電型をn型、第2導電型をp型とした具体例を挙げる。
図1は、第1の実施形態に係る半導体装置の構成を例示する模式的断面図である。
図1に表したように、本実施形態に係る半導体装置110は、第1半導体領域10と、第2半導体領域20と、第3半導体領域30と、第1電極81と、第2電極82と、制御電極80と、絶縁膜50と、を備える。
第1電極81に、第2電極82に対して正の電圧が印加された状態で、制御電極80に閾値以上の電圧が印加されると、第2半導体領域20における絶縁膜50との界面付近に反転層(チャネル)が形成される。これにより、半導体装置110はオン状態になり、第1電極81から第2電極82へ電流が流れる。
図2は、絶縁膜中のNの濃度分布を例示する図である。
図2には、濃度分布C1、C2及びC3が表される。濃度分布C1は、本実施形態に係る半導体装置110の絶縁膜50におけるNの濃度分布である。濃度分布C2は、第1参考例に係る半導体装置の絶縁膜501におけるNの濃度分布である。濃度分布C3は、第2参考例に係る半導体装置の絶縁膜502におけるNの濃度分布である。
図3は、界面準位を例示する図である。
図3には、界面準位D1、D2及びD3が表される。界面準位D1には、本実施形態で用いられる絶縁膜50によってMOSキャパシタを作製し、界面準位を調べた結果が表される。界面準位D2には、第1参考例で用いられる絶縁膜501によってMOSキャパシタを作製し、界面準位を調べた結果が表される。界面準位D3には、第2参考例で用いられる絶縁膜502によってMOSキャパシタを作製し、界面準位を調べた結果が表される。
図4には、電界効果移動度M1、M2及びM3が表される。電界効果移動度M1は、本実施形態で用いられる絶縁膜50によってMOSFETを作製し、電界効果移動度を測定した結果が表される。電界効果移動度M2は、第1参考例で用いられる絶縁膜501によってMOSFETを作製し、電界効果移動度を測定した結果が表される。電界効果移動度M3は、第2参考例で用いられる絶縁膜502によってMOSFETを作製し、電界効果移動度を測定した結果が表される。
図5の横軸は絶縁膜50の表面を基準にした深さ(nm)、縦軸はNの濃度(cm−3)を表している。
図5に表したように、濃度分布C11は、絶縁膜50の表面から深さ方向に徐々に増加する。そして、濃度分布C11は、第1面20aから少なくとも5nmまで増加傾向を示す。濃度分布C11には主たるピークは存在しない。すなわち、Nの濃度は、第1面20aから少なくとも5nmまで増加傾向を示し、それよりも第1面20aから離れても減少傾向にはならない。このような濃度分布C11を示す絶縁膜50を用いた場合でも、第1参考例及び第2参考例に係る半導体装置に比べて電界効果移動度が向上すると考えられる。
次に、第2の実施形態に係る半導体装置の製造方法について説明する。
図6は、半導体装置の製造方法を例示するフローチャートである。
図6に表したように、本実施形態に係る半導体装置の製造方法は、半導体領域の形成(ステップS101)、Si酸窒化膜の形成(ステップS102)及び酸窒化処理(ステップS103)を含む。
図7〜図10は、半導体装置の製造方法を例示する模式的断面図である。
先ず、図7に表したように、基板11を用意する。基板11は、4H−SiCを含む。基板11は、n型不純物として、N及びPの少なくともいずれかを含む。基板11の不純物濃度は、例えば5×1018cm−3以上1×1019cm−3以下程度である。基板11の厚さは、300μm程度である。基板11の第1主面11aは、例えば(000−1)面である。なお、第1主面11aは(0001)面でもよい。
次に、第3の実施形態に係る半導体装置を説明する。
図11は、第3の実施形態に係る半導体装置の構成を例示する模式的断面図である。
図11に表した半導体装置120では、制御電極85の構造が図1に表した半導体装置110の制御電極80の構造とは相違する。これ以外の構成は、半導体装置110と同様である。
