まず、炭化珪素基板を準備する工程(S10:図12)が実施される。たとえば昇華法を用いて炭化珪素単結晶基板11が準備される。炭化珪素単結晶基板の最大径は、たとえば100mm以上であり、好ましくは150mm以上である。たとえば原料ガスとしてシラン(SiH4)とプロパン(C3H8)との混合ガスを用い、キャリアガスとしてたとえば水素ガス(H2)を用い、ドーパントガスとしてアンモニア(NH3)を用いたCVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition)法により、炭化珪素単結晶基板11上に第1不純物領域21がエピタキシャル成長する(図13参照)。第1不純物領域21の厚みは、たとえば9μmである。第1不純物領域21が含む窒素原子の濃度は、たとえば7×1015cm-3程度である。
本実施形態に係るMOSFET100によれば、トレンチ6の底面4を包含するようにp型領域22が設けられ、p型領域22のアルミニウム原子の濃度は1×1019cm-3を超え1×1021cm-3以下である。これにより、p型領域22で貫通らせん転位9の伸展を抑制し、貫通らせん転位9が底面4に達しないようにすることが可能である。またp型領域22を設けることで、底面4における電界集中を緩和することができる。結果として、底面4上に形成されるゲート絶縁膜15の信頼性を向上することができる。

(サンプル準備)
まず、サンプル1〜6に係る炭化珪素基板10が準備された。サンプル1〜5に係る炭化珪素基板10は、炭化珪素単結晶基板11と、第1不純物領域21と、p型領域22と、第3不純物領域23とを有する。第1不純物領域21は、炭化珪素単結晶基板11上にあり、n型の導電型を有する。第1不純物領域21の厚みは、9μmである。p型領域22は、第1不純物領域21上にある。p型領域22の厚みは、0.7μmである。第3不純物領域23は、p型領域22上にある。第3不純物領域23の厚みは、3μmである。サンプル1、2、3、4、5および6に係るp型領域22のアルミニウム原子の濃度(不純物濃度)は、それぞれ、1×1016cm-3未満、1×1016cm-3以上1×1017cm-3未満、1×1017cm-3以上1×1018cm-3未満、1×1018cm-3以上1×1019cm-3未満、1×1019cm-3以上1×1020cm-3未満および1×1020cm-3以上である。p型領域22のアルミニウム原子の濃度は、イオン注入におけるドーズ量を制御することにより調整した。
共焦点微分干渉顕微鏡を用いて各サンプルに係る炭化珪素基板10の欠陥密度が測定された。共焦点微分干渉顕微鏡として、レーザーテック株式会社製のWASAVIシリーズSICAが使用された。開口部の幅が2μm以上であって、かつ深さが10nm以上であるピットが欠陥としてカウントされた。観察領域を、1mm×1mmとした。観察領域における欠陥の数を測定領域の面積で除することにより、欠陥密度が求められた。
サンプル1に係る炭化珪素基板10の第1主面1において撮影された領域には、欠陥が全くないか、もしくはあったとしても非常に浅くて観測できない程度である。図27は、サンプル3に係る炭化珪素基板10のp型領域22に対面する第1主面1の部分において撮影された画像を示している。図27に示されるように、撮影された領域には、欠陥30が低密度で存在している。撮影領域において測定された欠陥30の数は、6個である。欠陥30の密度は、約600個/cm2である。図28は、サンプル1に係る炭化珪素基板10の第3不純物領域23がない状態におけるp型領域22の表面において撮影された画像である。図28に示されるように、撮影された領域には、欠陥30が高密度で存在している。撮影領域において測定された欠陥30の数は、44個である。欠陥30の密度は、約4400個/cm2である。
