Description
Vmax=ε1×(Emax)2/(2×q×N1)
ここで、Emaxは素子の絶縁破壊電界を、ε1は第1n型GaN系半導体層4の誘電率を、qは電気素量を表す。例えば、第1n型GaN系半導体層4の不純物濃度N1を1×1018cm−3、絶縁破壊電界Emaxを3.5M(V/cm)とすると、耐圧は321Vとなる。この程度の耐圧を維持するためには、第1n型GaN系半導体層4の不純物濃度は1×1018cm−3以下としなければならない。ここで、Mはmegaを表す。以上のように、第1n型GaN系半導体層4は、不純物濃度を低くしたn−型GaN系半導体層で構成される。
φS(inv)≒2k×T×ln(N2/ni)/q で表される。
界面準位のない理想的な状態で反転分布を発生させる電圧の閾値Vthは、以下のように表される。MIS構造の絶縁膜の静電容量をC1、誘電率をε1、p型GaN系半導体層6の静電容量をC2、誘電率をε2とすると、
Vth=q×φS(inv)×(C1+C2)/C1
=(1+(ε2×Wp)/(ε1×Wmax)×q×φs(inv)
ここで、Wmaxは反転時の最大空乏層幅であり、
Wmax={(2εp×φs(inv))/(q×N2)}1/2で表される。
MIS構造の絶縁膜に、厚さ0.1μmのSiO2を用い、上述したようにp型GaN系半導体層6の厚さWpを0.5μmとした場合、界面準位のない理想的な状態で反転分布を発生させる電圧の閾値Vthを100ボルト以下に抑えたい場合には、上記計算式より、p型GaN系半導体層6の不純物濃度N2を5×1019cm−3以下にすることが望ましい。
R=t2/(q×N3×μ×S)で表される。抵抗を低くするためには、不純物濃度N3を1×1018cm−3とし、膜厚t2は0.5μmとした。これによって、抵抗(率)は、2.2×10−6(Ω・cm2)程度になる。したがって、第2n型GaN系半導体層7の不純物濃度は、1×1018cm−3以上とすることが望ましい。さらに、抵抗Rの式より、膜厚t2が薄い方が抵抗は小さくなるので、膜厚t2は1μm以下程度とすることが望ましい。
