Description
本発明は、米国陸軍によって授与された契約第DAAD19−01−C−0067号タスクオーダー4に基づき、政府資金により行われた。米国政府は、本発明に権利を有し得る。
[関連出願]
本出願は、2011年5月16日に出願された米国特許出願第13/108,366号の一部継続出願であり、その開示は、参照することにより全体として本明細書に援用される。
[開示の分野]
本開示は、炭化ケイ素(SiC)で製造された半導体素子に関する。
[背景]
炭化ケイ素(SiC)は、破壊電界が高く、熱伝導率が高く、またバンドギャップが広いゆえに、高出力および高温の半導体素子に望ましい材料である。しかしながら、高電圧素子において、高い破壊電界を活かすためには、効率的な端部終端が必要である。より具体的には、素子の端部における電界集中は、素子の端部において素子の故障を引き起こし、それがさらには、素子の阻止電圧を、理想の阻止電圧(すなわち、理想の平行平面素子の阻止電圧)よりはるか下に低下させる。よって、端部終端は、SiC半導体素子の設計において、また特に、高出力SiC半導体素子には、重要な課題である。
[概要]
本開示は、高い阻止電圧および低いオン抵抗の両方を有する炭化ケイ素(SiC)半導体素子に関する。一実施形態では、当該半導体素子は、少なくとも10キロボルト(kV)の阻止電圧と、10ミリオーム平方センチメートル(mΩ・cm2)未満、さらにより好ましくは5mΩ・cm2未満のオン抵抗と、を有する。別の実施形態では、当該半導体素子は、少なくとも15kVの阻止電圧と、15mΩ・cm2未満、さらにより好ましくは7mΩ・cm2未満のオン抵抗と、を有する。さらに別の実施形態では、当該半導体素子は、少なくとも20kVの阻止電圧と、20mΩ・cm2未満、さらにより好ましくは10mΩ・cm2未満のオン抵抗と、を有する。
本明細書に組み込まれてその一部をなす添付の図面は、本開示のそれぞれの態様を図示し、明細書とともに本開示の原理を説明する役割を果たす。
以下に記載する実施形態は、当業者がそれらの実施形態を実施できるようにするのに必要な情報を表し、また、それらの実施形態を実施する最良の形態を説明している。添付の図面に照らして以下の記述を読めば、当業者は、本開示の概念を理解し、また、本明細書において特に扱われていない、それらの概念の応用を認識するだろう。それらの概念および応用は、本開示および添付の請求項の範囲内にある、ということが理解されるべきである。
