Description
<炭化珪素半導体デバイス基板の切断>
図1を用いて、本実施の形態における炭化珪素半導体デバイス基板1aの切断工程を説明する。図1は、実施の形態1で用いたワイヤーカット放電加工機の概略図である。
図2を用いて、本実施の形態における炭化珪素ショットキーバリアダイオードの構成を説明する。図2は、実施の形態1におけるショットキーバリアダイオードの断面模式図である。
放電加工機により切断した炭化珪素ショットキーバリアダイオードの炭化珪素半導体素子の端側面に形成された導電層17の体積抵抗率は、放電加工機の切断条件により変化するが、主に2〜7Ωcmであり、炭化珪素基体11を構成する炭化珪素基板9や炭化珪素エピタキシャル層10と比べ非常に低抵抗であった。また導電層17の膜厚は15μmであった。
以上のように、炭化珪素半導体素子の端側部に炭化珪素基体の体積抵抗率よりも低い体積抵抗率を有する珪素欠乏層(導電層17)を有する、炭化珪素半導体デバイス基板1aから放電加工法を用いて切り出した炭化珪素ショットキーバリアダイオードの炭化珪素半導体素子は、高電圧を印加した場合でも沿面放電を生じることがなく、放電破壊を生じない高い信頼性を示した。
<炭化珪素半導体デバイス基板の切断>
図3を用いて、本実施の形態における炭化珪素半導体デバイス基板1bの切断工程を説明する。図3は、実施の形態2で用いたマルチワイヤーカット放電加工機の概略図である。
切り出した炭化珪素ショットキーバリアダイオードの炭化珪素半導体素子は、実施の形態1と同様に図2に示した構成であり、切断面には導電層17である低抵抗の珪素欠乏層が形成される。この低抵抗の珪素欠乏層の体積低効率は5Ωcm、膜厚は約15μmであった。
以上のように、その端側部に導電層17である低抵抗の珪素欠乏層を有する、炭化珪素半導体デバイス基板1bからマルチワイヤーカット放電加工機を用いて切り出した炭化珪素半導体素子である炭化珪素ショットキーバリアダイオードは、高電圧を印加した場合でも沿面放電を生じることがなく、高い信頼性を示した。
実施の形態2のマルチワイヤーカット放電加工機を用いて、実施の形態1と同様の炭化珪素半導体素子である炭化珪素ショットキーバリアダイオードを形成した炭化珪素半導体デバイス基板1cの切断を行なった。本実施の形態においては、図4に示すように、切断する炭化珪素半導体デバイス基板1c上に冷却板19を取り付けた。
実施の形態2のマルチワイヤーカット放電加工機を用いて、実施の形態1と同様の炭化珪素半導体素子である炭化珪素ショットキーバリアダイオードを形成した炭化珪素半導体デバイス基板1dの切断を行った。実施の形態1〜3では、炭化珪素半導体デバイス基板を切断した後に、炭化珪素半導体素子の端側面に形成される導電層17の体積抵抗率、放電破壊に対する信頼性を中心に評価してきたが、本実施の形態では、導電層17の表面粗さ(Ra)に着目し、炭化珪素半導体素子表面に形成する樹脂膜の密着性を評価した。
