Description
1.半導体装置
図1は、第1の実施形態の半導体装置100の概略構成を示す図である。半導体装置100は、縦型MOSFETである。図1に示すように、半導体装置100は、導電性基板110と、第1半導体層120と、第2半導体層130と、第3半導体層140と、第4半導体層150と、ボディ電極B1と、ドレイン電極D1と、ソース電極S1と、ゲート電極G1と、ゲート絶縁膜F1と、を有する。
第1半導体層120の不純物濃度は、例えば、5×1015cm-3以上2×1016cm-3以下である。第2半導体層130の不純物濃度は、例えば、6×1017cm-3以上2×1018cm-3以下である。第3半導体層140の不純物濃度は、例えば、5×1016cm-3以上3×1017cm-3以下である。第4半導体層150の不純物濃度は、例えば、2×1018cm-3以上4×1018cm-3以下である。
3-1.ドレイン電流
図3は、第1の実施形態の半導体装置100に流れるドレイン電流Idを示している。ゲート電極G1が所定の電位となったときに、ドレイン電極D1からソース電極S1に向かって電流が流れる。これがドレイン電流Idである。図3に示すように、ドレイン電流Idは、ドレイン電極D1からゲート近傍のチャネルを通り、ソース電極S1に向かって流れる。
そのため、図3の矢印A1に示すように、半導体装置100のオン抵抗は、ソース電極S1とドレイン電極D1とに挟まれた層の電気抵抗である。つまり、導電性基板110から第4半導体層150までの電気抵抗が、半導体装置100のオン抵抗を担っている。
半導体装置100は、第2半導体層130より不純物濃度の低い第3半導体層140を有する。第3半導体層140のようにキャリア濃度が低いほうが、オン時に電子が集まりやすい。つまり、逆方向耐圧に関係せず、オン抵抗に関係する第3半導体層140のキャリア濃度を低くすることにより、低いオン抵抗の半導体装置100が実現される。このようにキャリア濃度の低い第3半導体層140が存在するため、半導体装置100のオン抵抗は従来に比べて低い。
5-1.キャリア濃度
図4に示すように、第3半導体層140に第1導電型(n型)とする不純物と第2導電型(p型)とする不純物とをドープしてもよい。n型にする不純物は、例えばSiである。p型にする不純物は、例えばMgである。ただし、第3半導体層140における第2導電型となる不純物の濃度が、第3半導体層140における第1導電型となる不純物の濃度より高い。
図5は、第1の実施形態の変形例における半導体装置200の概略構成を示す図である。図5に示すように、半導体装置200においては、ボディ電極B2が、第2半導体層130に接触せず、第3半導体層140および第4半導体層150に接触している。リセスR2は、第4半導体層150を貫通し、第3半導体層140の途中まで達する凹部である。
ボディ電極B1とソース電極S1とは、それぞれ独立して設けられていてもよい。この場合、ボディ電極B1とソース電極S1とは接触していない。
上記の変形例を自由に組み合わせてよい。
第3半導体層140のMg濃度を変えてドレイン電流Idをシミュレーションにより計算した。GaN基板の上にn- GaN層(第1半導体層120)、pGaN層(第2半導体層130)、p- GaN層(第3半導体層140)、n+ GaN層(第4半導体層150)を順に形成した構造を採用した。
第1の態様における半導体装置は、第1面と第2面とを有する第1導電型の導電性基板と、導電性基板の第1面の上の第1導電型の第1半導体層と、第1半導体層の上の第2導電型の第2半導体層と、第2半導体層の上の第2導電型の第3半導体層と、第3半導体層の上の第1導電型の第4半導体層と、第4半導体層を貫通するとともに第2半導体層または第3半導体層まで達する凹部に形成された第1電極と、導電性基板の第2面の上の第2電極と、を有する。第1半導体層と第2半導体層と第3半導体層と第4半導体層とは、III 族窒化物半導体層である。第3半導体層のキャリア濃度が、第2半導体層のキャリア濃度より低い。
