Description
SiC−MOFETにおいては、ソース電極がコンタクト領域(ボディ領域よりも不純物濃度が高い領域)を介してボディ領域と電気的に接続されている。そして、ソース電極およびゲート電極間に所定のゲート電圧が印加されることで、ボディ領域のチャネル領域における反転層の形成の有無が制御される。
次に、実施形態の具体例を、図面を参照しつつ説明する。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、その説明は繰り返さない。また、本明細書中においては、個別面を()、集合面を{}でそれぞれ示す。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。
まず、図1および図2を参照して、実施形態1に係る炭化珪素半導体装置であるMOSFET1の構造について説明する。図1は、図2中の線分I−Iに沿ったMOSFET1の断面構造を示している。
次に、図8および図9を参照して、実施形態2に係る炭化珪素半導体装置であるMOSFET2の構造について説明する。図8は、図9中の線分VIII−VIIIに沿ったMOSFET2の断面構造を示している。
上述した側壁面SWは、特にボディ領域13上の部分において、特殊面を有する。特殊面を有する側壁面SWは、図22に示すように、面方位{0−33−8}を有する面S1(第1の面)を含む。言い換えれば、トレンチTRの側壁面SW上においてボディ領域13には、面S1を含む表面が設けられている。面S1は好ましくは面方位(0−33−8)を有する。
一般に、ポリタイプ4Hの炭化珪素単結晶を(000−1)面から見ると、図23に示すように、Si原子(またはC原子)は、A層の原子(図中の実線)と、この下に位置するB層の原子(図中の破線)と、この下に位置するC層の原子(図中の一点鎖線)と、この下に位置するB層の原子(図示せず)とが繰り返し設けられている。つまり4つの層ABCBを1周期としてABCBABCBABCB・・・のような周期的な積層構造が設けられている。
