Description
以下、図面を参照しながら、本開示の実施の形態にかかる半導体素子について説明する。
炭化珪素半導体素子100は、第1導電型の半導体基板101と、半導体基板101の表面上に位置する第1導電型の第1炭化珪素半導体層(炭化珪素エピタキシャル層)102とを備える。本実施の形態では、第1導電型がn型であり、第2導電型がp型である。しかし、第1導電型がp型であり、第2導電型がn型であってもよい。半導体基板101は、n+型の導電性を有し、炭化珪素(SiC)によって構成される。第1炭化珪素半導体層102は、n−型である。n型またはp型の導電型の右肩の「+」または「−」は、不純物の相対的な濃度を表している。例えば、「n+」は「n」よりもn型不純物濃度が高いことを意味し、「n−」は「n」よりもn型不純物濃度が低いことを意味している。
次に、炭化珪素半導体素子100の動作を説明する。炭化珪素半導体素子100において、第2炭化珪素半導体層106と、第2炭化珪素半導体層106に流れる電流を制御するゲート電極108と、ゲート絶縁膜107と、第2炭化珪素半導体層106に電気的に接続されたソース電極109、及びドレイン電極110とによってMOSFETが構成される。
上記式からも明らかであるように、ゲート−ドレイン間の容量低減にはゲート絶縁膜107から伸びる空乏層300tの広幅化や、ゲート絶縁膜107の厚膜化などが有効な施策として考えられ、本実施の形態ではこれら施策を同時に実施することにより、ゲート−ドレイン間の容量低減を図っている。ここで、空乏層300tの広幅化とは、空乏層300tの深さ方向、即ち図3A、図3Bにおける紙面上下方向の幅を広くすることを言う。なお、εoxやεSiCなど、各種材料の誘電率低下もゲート−ドレイン間容量の低減につながるが、本実施の形態はあくまでSiCを用いた半導体素子に関するものであるため、ここでは説明を省略することとする。
上記積分の積分区間は、およそオン電圧から電源電圧までである。ここで言うオン電圧は炭化珪素半導体素子100がオン状態のときの抵抗(以下、「オン抵抗」と称する)と負荷電流ILの積によって決まり、炭化珪素半導体素子100のオン抵抗が例えば100mΩ以下と低い場合には1〜10V程度となる。一方、電源電圧は炭化珪素半導体素子100の使用用途によっても異なるが、SiCを用いた半導体素子では一般に600V以上の高耐圧領域の電源電圧が用いられる。したがって、MOSFETがターンオンおよびターンオフのスイッチングを繰り返す度に、この大きな電圧幅において、ゲート−ドレイン間容量の充放電が必要となり、スイッチング時に充放電される総電荷量が上記Qgdによって規定される。
0.25μmは前述した通り、JFET領域102jの端部において、キャリアの導電経路として確保されなければならない幅であり、JFET領域102jの両端においてこのような領域が存在するために2倍されている。さらに、Wrを正の値とするためには、JFET領域102jの幅Wjは
Wj>0.5μm
の条件を満たさなければならない。
次に、図6Aから図6Pを参照しながら、本実施形態の炭化珪素半導体素子100の製造方法の一例を詳述する。なお、以下で説明される特定の数値、材料、プロセス条件については、あくまでも一例である。
図2A〜図2Cでは本実施の形態における、ユニットセル100uの平面構成図の一例を既に示した。この構成によると、チャネル除去領域106rはユニットセル100uの外周部を沿う形で形成されている。図2A〜図2Cで示した構成に加えて、図7A、図7Bに示すように、チャネル除去領域106rは、ユニットセル100uの外周部の一部のみを沿う形で形成されていても良い。
図8Aは本実施の形態2の炭化珪素半導体素子200の断面を模式的に示している。炭化珪素半導体素子200は、複数のユニットセル200uを含む。本実施の形態2では、チャネル除去領域106rの深さが、実施の形態1と比べてさらに深く設定されている。具体的には、実施の形態1におけるチャネル除去領域106rが第2炭化珪素半導体層106の欠落であったのに対し、本実施の形態2におけるチャネル除去領域106rは、第2炭化珪素半導体層106の欠落に加えて、JFET領域102jの欠落も包含する構成となっている。JFET領域102jの欠落はJFET領域102jの上面側からの欠落であって、第2炭化珪素半導体層106の欠落と空間的に連続している。なお、チャネル除去工程以外の工程は、実施の形態1と同様である。実施の形態1と同様にJFET領域102jに第1導電型の高濃度の不純物を導入してもよい。
Wr≦Wj−0.25μm×2
を満たすように設定されている。
Wj>0.5μm
とする必要がある。
Dj≦(Wj−Wr)/2×tan(θ)
