Description
A−1.半導体装置の製造方法
図1は、半導体装置の製造方法を示す工程図である。図2から図8は、半導体装置を製造する様子を模式的に示す説明図である。
試験者は、上述した実施形態の製造方法による半導体装置100gを実施例として作製するとともに、上述した実施形態とは異なる製造方向による半導体装置を比較例として作製した。比較例の製造方法は、窒化アルミニウム(AlN)の非晶質成分から主に成るスルー膜810に代えて、二酸化ケイ素(SiO2)から主に成るスルー膜を形成する点、並びに、イオン注入工程を終えた後であって加熱工程の前にスルー膜を除去する点を除き、上述した実施形態の製造方法と同様である。
以上説明した第1実施形態によれば、スルー膜810によって半導体層111の表面111sへのn型不純物の付着を防止できるため、半導体層111の表面111sに付着したn型不純物がイオン注入工程(工程P140)において半導体層111の中にノックオンによって拡散することを抑制できる。これによって、半導体層111へのp型不純物の拡散が促進されるため、p型不純物が半導体層111の表面111sに析出することを抑制できる。したがって、イオン注入によって形成されるp型半導体領域111pの表面モフォロジを改善できる。その結果、半導体装置のデバイス特性を向上させることができる。
図14は、第2実施形態における半導体装置200の構成を模式的に示す断面図である。図14には、図2と同様に相互に直交するXYZ軸が図示されている。
図16は、第3実施形態における半導体装置300の構成を模式的に示す断面図である。図16には、図2と同様に相互に直交するXYZ軸が図示されている。
図18は、電力変換装置10の構成を示す説明図である。電力変換装置10は、交流電源Eから負荷Rに供給される電力を変換する装置である。電力変換装置10は、交流電源Eの力率を改善する力率改善回路の構成部品として、制御回路20と、トランジスタTRと、4つのダイオードD1と、コイルLと、ダイオードD2と、キャパシタCとを備える。
本発明は、上述した実施形態、実施例および変形例に限られず、その趣旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々の構成で実現できる。例えば、実施形態、実施例および変形例における技術的特徴のうち、発明の概要の欄に記載した各形態における技術的特徴に対応するものは、上述の課題の一部または全部を解決するために、あるいは、上述の効果の一部または全部を達成するために、適宜、差し替えおよび組み合わせを行うことが可能である。また、本明細書中に必須なものとして説明されていない技術的特徴については、適宜、削除することが可能である。
