Description
特開2014-150126号公報に記載のMOSFETの一実施形態においては、素子分離層は酸化物などの絶縁体によって構成されている。素子分離層を絶縁体によって形成する方法としては、炭化珪素基板にトレンチを形成した後、当該トレンチの内部を絶縁体で埋めることが考えられる。しかしながら、上記形成方法を採用する場合には、プロセス的に工程数が大幅に増加してしまう。
本開示によれば、工程数を大幅に増加することなくセンス領域と活性領域とを分離可能なゲート絶縁型トランジスタを提供することができる。
まず、本開示の実施形態の概要について説明する。
以下、実施の形態について図に基づいて説明する。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、その説明は繰り返さない。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。また結晶学上の指数が負であることは、通常、”-”(バー)を数字の上に付すことによって表現されるが、本明細書中では数字の前に負の符号を付している。
まず、第1実施形態に係るゲート絶縁型トランジスタ100の一例としてのMOSFET100の構成について説明する。
図1に示されるように、第1ソース配線44は、第1ソース端子S1に接続されている。第2ソース配線54は、第2ソース端子S2に接続されている。ドレイン電極70は、ドレイン端子Dに接続されている。第1ゲート電極42は、第1ゲート端子G1に接続されている。第2ゲート電極52は、第2ゲート端子G2に接続されている。第1ゲート端子G1は、第2ゲート端子G2と電気的に接続されている。
第1実施形態に係るMOSFETによれば、活性領域10には、第1側面17と、第1側面17に連なる第1底面18とにより規定される第1ゲートトレンチ19が設けられている。分離トレンチ39は、センス領域20と活性領域10とを分離している。これにより、センス領域20と活性領域10とが電気的に分離される。第1絶縁膜41は、第1側面17および第1底面18の双方に接している。第1導電体42は、第1絶縁膜41上に設けられている。第2絶縁膜61は、分離トレンチ39内に設けられている。第2導電体62は、第2絶縁膜61上に設けられている。第1絶縁膜41は、第2絶縁膜61と同じ材料により構成されている。第1導電体42は、第2導電体62と同じ材料により構成され、かつ第2導電体62から電気的に分離されている。これにより、分離トレンチ39を第1ゲートトレンチ19と同時に形成することができる。そのため、工程数を増やすことなく、センス領域20と活性領域10とを分離することができる。また分離トレンチ39を容易に埋めることができる。さらに分離トレンチ39が第2絶縁膜61および第2導電体62によって埋められることで、分離トレンチ39上に段差が発生することを抑制することができる。そのため、電極に電力を供給するためのアルミニウム配線を形成する際に、当該配線の付き回りの不具合が発生することを抑制することができる。
次に、第2実施形態に係るMOSFET100の構成について説明する。第2実施形態に係るMOSFETは、電流センサ素子の代わりに温度センサを有している構成において、第1実施形態に係るMOSFETと異なっており、その他の構成については、第1実施形態に係るMOSFETとほぼ同じである。以下、第1実施形態に係るMOSFETと異なる構成を中心に説明する。
図6に示されるように、第3電極95は、電源3の正極側に接続されている。第4電極98は、電源3の負極側に接続されている。第4電極98と、電源3の負極との間に、電流計4が設けられている。電源3を用いて、第3電極95と第4電極98との間に電圧が印加されると、第3コンタクト領域91と第5不純物領域23と第4コンタクト領域92とを通って、第3電極95と第4電極98との間を電流が流れる。第3電極95と第4電極98との間を流れる電流は、電流計4によって検出される。
次に、第3実施形態に係るMOSFET100の構成について説明する。第3実施形態に係るMOSFETは、温度センサ素子がダイオードである構成において、第2実施形態に係るMOSFETと異なっており、その他の構成については、第2実施形態に係るMOSFETとほぼ同じである。以下、第2実施形態に係るMOSFETと異なる構成を中心に説明する。
次に、第4実施形態に係るMOSFET100の構成について説明する。第4実施形態に係るMOSFETは、電流センサ素子を有する第1実施形態に係るMOSFETと、温度センサを有する第2実施形態または第3実施形態に係るMOSFETとを組み合わせた構成を有している。以下、第1~3実施形態の各々に係るMOSFETと異なる構成を中心に説明する。
