(1)本発明の一態様に係る炭化珪素半導体装置は、炭化珪素基板10と、ゲート絶縁膜15と、上部電極16と、下部電極20とを備えている。炭化珪素基板10は、第1の主面10aと、第1の主面10aと反対側の第2の主面10bとを有する。炭化珪素基板10は、第1導電型を有する第1不純物領域12aと、第1不純物領域12aと接し、かつ第1導電型とは異なる第2導電型を有する第2不純物領域13aと、第1導電型を有し、第2不純物領域13aによって第1不純物領域12aから隔てられ、かつ第1の主面10aを形成する第3不純物領域14とを含む。炭化珪素基板10は、第1の主面10aに垂直な方向から見て、互いに隣接する第1領域R1および第2領域R2により構成されている。第1領域R1は、第1不純物領域12aと、第2不純物領域13aと、第3不純物領域14の一部を構成する第1部分14aとを有する。第2領域R2は、第3不純物領域14の一部を構成し、かつ第1部分14aと連接する第2部分14bを有する。さらに、ゲート絶縁膜15は、第1不純物領域12aと、第2不純物領域13aと、第3不純物領域14の第1部分14aとに接する。上部電極16は、第2領域R2の第2部分14b上に配置されている。下部電極20は、第2の主面10b側に配置されている。第2不純物領域13aは、ゲート絶縁膜15に接するチャネル領域CHを有する。チャネル領域CHは、第1の主面10aに対して垂直な方向に沿って見た場合に、第1の方向に沿って直線状に伸長している。第3不純物領域14の第1部分14aは、第1の主面と平行な方向であって、かつ第1の方向に対して垂直な第2の方向に沿って並んで配置された複数の不純物領域部14a1、14a2を有する。第2部分14bは、複数の不純物領域部14a1、14a2の各々を繋ぐように設けられている。
[本発明の実施形態の詳細]
以下、図面に基づいて本発明の実施の形態について説明する。なお、以下の図面において同一または相当する部分には同一の参照番号を付しその説明は繰返さない。また、本明細書中の結晶学的記載においては、個別方位を[]、集合方位を<>、個別面を()、集合面を{}でそれぞれ示している。また、負の指数については、結晶学上、”−”(バー)を数字の上に付けることになっているが、本明細書中では、数字の前に負の符号を付けている。
