この発明はメサ形構造が半導体基板の一生表面もしくは
両生表面に形成された環状溝などによ多形成されている
半導体装置の製造方法に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in which mesa-shaped structures are formed in a plurality of annular grooves or the like formed on a continuous surface or an amphibatic surface of a semiconductor substrate.

半導体ペレットを形成する場合に適する。また、この環

あシ、信頼性の高い高耐圧のものにも適用可能である。A mesa-shaped structure in which an annular groove is formed on the permanent or amphibatic surface of the semiconductor substrate and a pn junction is exposed on the inner wall surface of the annular groove forms a large number of semiconductor pellets within a large area of the semiconductor substrate. suitable for the case. Further, it is easy to form a stabilizing film of an inorganic material such as glass in this annular groove, and it is also applicable to a highly reliable and high-voltage structure.
したがって、上述のメサ構造はサイリスタやトランジス

くすることが実施されている。On the other hand, as the current capacity of a semiconductor device increases, it is necessary to increase the size of the semiconductor pellet, and the chip size increases. As the chip size increases, the incidence of pinholes in the oxide film within one chip increases, and silicon holes due to etching increase, resulting in lower breakdown voltage, increased leakage current, and reliability due to pinholes. Sexual problems arise. Therefore, in the conventional photolithography process (resist coating → exposure), the annular groove is selectively etched using an oxide film as a mask.
This process is carried out twice to reduce the number of pinholes in the photoengraving process as much as possible.

However, there were drawbacks such as etching holes caused by pinholes.

First, as shown in Figure 1(, ), silicon dioxide Q) is formed on the amphiboid surface of an N-type silicon substrate (1) by a thermal oxidation method, and then galiuno is diffused from the amphipathic surface. Formation - A source layer (3) and a P-type emitter layer (4) are formed. Next, as shown in Figure 1(b), silicon dioxide <2) is removed from the amphiboid surface, and silicon dioxide (5) is removed by thermal oxidation.

A portion formed on the main surface of the forming layer (3) is removed by photolithography. Next, phosphorus is diffused to form an n-type emitter layer (6). Next, as shown in FIG. 1(c), the silicon dioxide (5) is etched by photolithography. Next, as shown in FIG. 1(d), an Al deposited film (7) of, for example, 3 μm or more is formed on the amphibatic surface of the silicon substrate (1), and then etched by photolithography. The resulting pinhole is shown in (8). Next, as shown in FIG.
) to form. Next, as shown in FIG. 1(f), after forming a glass (10) in this groove (9), the oxide film on the electrode forming part is removed, and the electrode (11) is formed as shown in FIG. form. Finally, the pellet is cut from the center between the annular grooves to obtain a pellet as shown in FIG.

起因する品質の低下は皆無に近くなる。In the above manufacturing process, even if there is a pinhole in the silicon dioxide (5), it is covered by the Al vapor deposition film (7) and the position of the pinhole is located in the silicon dioxide (5).
As long as the same mask is not used at the same position of 5) and the Al deposited film (7), the probability of pinholes occurring will be dramatically reduced, and silicon holes due to etching will almost disappear. Further, deterioration in breakdown voltage, increase in leakage current, and deterioration in quality due to pinholes are almost completely eliminated.
