Description

製造半導體裝置的方法
[0001] 本發明關於一種製造半導體裝置的方法。
[0002] 例如,已知諸如金屬氧化物半導體場效電晶體(MOSFET)或絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體(IGBT)的半導體裝置具有p型浮接區域係設置在半導體基板的n型漂移區域中的結構。利用所述結構,促進了漂移區域的消耗,從而可以提高半導體裝置的耐電壓性。   [0003] 浮接區域係藉由P型雜質的離子佈植來形成。離子佈植是穿過形成在半導體基板中的溝槽的底面來進行,並且浮接區域係形成在與溝槽的底面相鄰的區域中。此時,在P型雜質佈植到溝槽的側面中的情況下,諸如導通電阻的半導體裝置的特性有可能劣化。因此,在離子佈植期間,氧化膜預先在溝槽的側面和底面上形成。因此,可以進一步抑制P型雜質佈植到溝槽的側面。P型雜質以垂直或大致垂直的角度進入溝槽的底面。因此,P型雜質穿過氧化膜並被佈植到半導體基板中。所述技術的範例已在日本未審查專利申請公開號2005-116822(JP2005-116822A)中描述。
[0004] 在離子佈植到浮接區域期間,在溝槽的側面上形成的氧化膜的厚度不足的情況下,P型雜質穿過氧化膜並被佈植到溝槽的側面。因此,氧化膜最好在溝槽的側面形成得較厚。另一方面,在溝槽的底面上形成厚的氧化膜的情況下,氧化膜干擾離子佈植進到半導體基板中。因此,難以更深地形成浮接區域。因此,氧化膜最好形成得非常薄或者不存在於溝槽的底面上。但是,在現有技術中,氧化膜均勻地形成在溝槽的側面和底面上,並且氧化膜不能獨自從溝槽的底面選擇性地移除。因此,為了抑制向溝槽的側面佈植P型雜質,需要進一步抑制離子佈植的佈植程度,並且難以形成更深的浮接區域。   [0005] 本發明提供了一種製造半導體裝置的方法,其中氧化膜可以在溝槽的側面上形成得相對較厚,並且其中氧化膜可以在溝槽的底面上形成得非常薄或者可以從底面被完全移除。   [0006] 本發明的一種態樣關於一種製造半導體裝置的方法,包含:在半導體基板的表面上形成溝槽;在該溝槽的側面和底面上形成氧化膜;藉由乾式蝕刻將該氧化膜的至少一部分從該溝槽的該底面移除;以及在該乾式蝕刻之後,穿過該溝槽的該底面將導電雜質離子佈植到該半導體基板中。所述乾式蝕刻是反應性離子蝕刻,其中使用包含具有碳原子環結構的CF基氣體、氧氣和氬氣的蝕刻氣體。本文所述的CF基氣體是指碳氟基氣體,即在氟原子和碳原子之間具有化學鍵的化合物的氣體。   [0007] 根據本發明的態樣,氧化膜係首先形成在溝槽的側面和底面上,接著進行反應離子刻蝕,以從溝槽的底面選擇性地移除氧化膜。在反應性離子蝕刻中,使用了包含具有碳原子環結構的CF基氣體、氧氣和氬氣的蝕刻氣體。CF基氣體是供給自由基並且與氧氣和構成半導體基板的原子發生化學反應而生成反應產物的氣體。另一方面,氬氣是供應離子輔助反應所需要的離子的氣體。   [0008] 電離氬的入射角在位於溝槽側面上的氧化膜中相對較小,並且在位於溝槽底面上的氧化膜中相對較大。由於入射角的變化,反應產物(即蝕刻)的產生主要在位於溝槽底面上的氧化膜中進行。反應產物從溝槽的底面揮發,接著沉積在位於溝槽側面的氧化膜上以形成保護氧化膜的保護膜。此時,在供給自由基的CF基氣體具有碳原子環結構的情況下,反應產物容易沉積。因此,大量的反應產物在排出到溝槽外部之前沉積在位於溝槽側面的氧化膜上。因此,保護膜被更有效地形成。因此,保護了位於溝槽側面上的氧化膜,並且選擇性地移除位於溝槽底面上的氧化膜。   [0009] 在本發明的態樣中,在氧化膜的移除中,可以藉由乾式蝕刻來移除氧化膜直到溝槽的底面被暴露。利用本發明的態樣,在隨後的離子佈植期間,導電雜質可以穿過溝槽的底面佈植到更深的位置。   [0010] 在本發明的態樣中,電容式耦接電漿蝕刻裝置可以被用於乾式蝕刻,所述電容式耦接電漿蝕刻裝置包含兩個交流電源,其分別對一對電極供應交流電。利用根據本發明的態樣的電漿蝕刻裝置,可以獲得相對較高的電子密度,並且氬或其它離子可以被更強烈地吸引到半導體基板中。   [0011] 在本發明的態樣中,具有碳原子環結構的CF基氣體可以由化學式C4 F6 、C4 F8 、C5 F8 和C5 HF7 中的任一個表示。在此,例如,C4 F6 或C4 F8 的附著係數根據各種條件而變化,但約為0.1至0.01。另一方面,不具有碳原子環結構的CF基氣體的CF2 或CF4 的附著係數在相同條件下進行比較時,約為0.01至0.001。   [0012] 在本發明的態樣中,半導體基板可以是碳化矽基板。   [0013] 在本發明的態樣中,在氧化膜的形成中,氧化膜不僅可以均勻地形成在溝槽的側面和底面上,而且可以均勻地形成在半導體基板的上表面上。   [0014] 在本發明的態樣中,在氧化膜的形成中,氧化膜可以形成為使得氧化膜在與半導體基板垂直的方向上的厚度為1.2微米以上。   [0015] 利用根據本發明的態樣的製造半導體裝置的方法,氧化膜可在溝槽的側面被形成為相對較厚,並且氧化膜可在溝槽的底面被形成為非常薄或者可以從底面被完全移除。因此,即使在隨後的離子佈植期間,佈植程度被設定為相對較高的情況下,也可以抑制導電雜質被佈植到溝槽的側面中。導電雜質可以穿過溝槽的底面佈植到更深的位置。
[0017] 將參照附圖描述根據實施例的半導體裝置10及其製造方法。根據實施例的半導體裝置10是用在電源電路中的功率半導體裝置,並且具體地具有MOSFET結構。雖然沒有被特別限制,但是半導體裝置10可以用作諸如混合動力車輛、燃料電池車輛或電動車輛的電力驅動車輛中的轉換器或變頻器之類的功率轉換電路的開關元件。在下文中,首先將描述半導體裝置10的結構,接著將描述製造半導體裝置10的方法。以下描述的半導體裝置10及其製造方法僅是範例性的,並且說明書中描述的各種技術特徵可單獨或組合地應用於其它各種半導體裝置及其製造方法。   [0018] 圖1是顯示根據實施例的半導體裝置10的結構的截面圖。圖1僅顯示半導體裝置10的一部分的截面。在半導體裝置10中,在圖1所示的單位結構被重複形成。如圖1所示,根據實施例的半導體裝置10包含:半導體基板12;以及位於在半導體基板12的上表面12a中形成的溝槽13中的閘極電極14。半導體基板12是碳化矽(SiC)基板。溝槽13具有一對側面13a和底面13b。閘極絕緣膜14a係在溝槽13的側面13a和底面13b上形成,而閘極電極14係從溝槽的側面13a在閘極絕緣膜14a的相對側上形成。閘極電極14係由例如諸如多晶矽的導電材料形成。閘極絕緣膜14a可以由諸如氧化矽(SiO2 )的絕緣材料形成。構成閘極電極14和閘極絕緣膜14a的具體材料沒有被特別限制。   [0019] 半導體裝置10還包含:設置在半導體基板12的上表面12a上的源極電極16;以及設置在半導體基板12的下表面12b上的汲極電極18。源極電極16與半導體基板12的上表面12a歐姆接觸,而汲極電極18與半導體基板12的下表面12b歐姆接觸。層間絕緣膜14b係在源極電極16和閘極電極14之間設置,並且源極電極16與閘極電極14電絕緣。源極電極16和汲極電極18可以使用諸如鋁(Al)、鎳(Ni)、鈦(Ti)或金(Au)的導電材料來形成。構成源極電極16和汲極電極18的具體材料沒有被特別限制。   [0020] 在此,半導體基板12的上表面12a是指半導體基板12的一個表面,並且半導體基板12的下表面12b是指相對於上表面12a設置的半導體基板12的另一個表面。在說明書中,為了便於區域分彼此相對的兩個表面,使用了「上表面」和「下表面」。例如,半導體基板12的上表面12a並不總是垂直向上設置。取決於半導體基板12的姿勢,上表面12a可以垂直向下設置,並且下表面12b可以向上設置。   [0021] 半導體基板12包含汲極區域32、漂移區域34、本體區域36、接觸區域38、源極區域40和浮接區域42。汲極區域32係沿著半導體基板12的下表面12b,並且暴露於下表面12b設置。汲極區域32是n型區域。N型雜質可以由例如諸如磷的V族元素(第15族元素)形成。汲極電極18係與汲極區域32歐姆接觸。   [0022] 漂移區域34位於汲極區域32上並且與汲極區域32相鄰。漂移區域34是n型區域。漂移區域34中的N型雜質濃度低於汲極區域32中的N型雜質濃度。N型雜質可以由例如諸如磷的V族元素(第15族元素)形成。   [0023] 本體區域36位於漂移區域34上並且與漂移區域34相鄰。本體區域36至少藉由漂移區域34與汲極區域32分離。本體區域36是p型區域。P型雜質可以由諸如硼(B)或鋁(Al)的III族元素(第13族元素)形成。   [0024] 接觸區域38位於本體區域36上並暴露於半導體基板12的上表面12a。接觸區域38是p型區域。接觸區域38中的P型雜質濃度高於本體區域36中的P型雜質濃度。P型雜質可以由諸如硼(B)或鋁(Al)的III族元素(第13族元素)形成。源極電極16係與接觸區域38歐姆接觸。   [0025] 源極區域40位於本體區域36上並且暴露於半導體基板12的上表面12a。源極區域40至少藉由本體區域36與漂移區域34分離。源極區域40是n型區域。源極區域40中的N型雜質濃度高於漂移區域34中的N型雜質濃度。N型雜質可以由例如諸如磷的V族元素(第15族元素)形成。源極電極16也與源極區域40歐姆接觸。   [0026] 浮接區域42位於溝槽13的底面13b與漂移區域34中的汲極區域32之間。浮接區域42是p型區域。例如,浮接區域42中的P型雜質濃度與本體區域36中的P型雜質濃度相同,並且比接觸區域38的P型雜質濃度低。P型雜質可以由諸如硼(B)或鋁(Al)的III族元素(第13族元素)形成。在p型浮接區域42係設置在n型漂移區域34中的情況下,能夠促進n型漂移區域34的消耗,並且從而進一步提高半導體裝置10的電阻。   [0027] 溝槽13從半導體基板12的上表面12a穿過源極區域40和本體區域36延伸到漂移區域34。源極區域40位於溝槽13的相對側上並與溝槽13相鄰。溝槽13中的閘極電極14從源極區域40、本體區域36和漂移區域34位於閘極絕緣膜14a的相對側。在本體區域36相鄰於溝槽13的側面13a的部分,通道將藉由閘極電極14形成。儘管下面將描述細節,浮接區域42係穿過溝槽13的底面13b藉由P型雜質的離子佈植而形成。關於離子佈植,在向溝槽13的側面13a佈植P型雜質的情況下,通道將被形成的部分的雜質濃度無意地增大。因此,半導體裝置10的特性(特別是導通電阻)變差。關於這一點,藉由下面描述的半導體裝置10的製造方法,在用於形成浮接區域42的離子佈植期間,能夠抑制P型雜質佈植進入溝槽13的側面13a。   [0028] 圖2是顯示根據實施例的製造半導體裝置10的方法的流程圖。首先,在步驟S12中,準備n型半導體基板(例如半導體晶圓)32。儘管沒有被特別限制,但在本實施例中,使用碳化矽(SiC)基板作為半導體基板32。半導體基板32形成了圖1所示的汲極區域32,並且為了便於說明,因此,與汲極區域32由相同的參照符號表示。接著,在步驟S14中,n型漂移區域34係藉由SiC磊晶生長在半導體基板32上形成。如上所述,將漂移區域34中的N型雜質濃度調整為低於汲極區域32中的N型雜質濃度。接著,在步驟S16中,p型本體區域36係藉由SiC磊晶生長在漂移區域34上形成。   [0029] 接著,在步驟S18中,p型接觸區域38係在包含半導體基板12的上表面12a的區域中形成。為了形成接觸區域38,穿過半導體基板12的上表面12a進行了P型雜質的離子佈植。如上所述,接觸區域38中的P型雜質濃度被調整為高於本體區域36中的P型雜質濃度。接著,在步驟S20中,n型源極區域40在包含半導體基板12的上表面12a的區域中形成。為了形成源極區域40,穿過半導體基板12的上表面12a進行了N型雜質的離子佈植。如上所述,源極區域40中的N型雜質濃度被調整為高於漂移區域34中的N型雜質濃度。藉由上述步驟,如圖3所示,半導體基板12被製造,其中包含汲極區域32、漂移區域34和本體區域36的三個層被層壓,並且其中接觸區域38和源極區域40係沿著上表面12a設置。   [0030] 接著,在步驟S22中,溝槽13係在半導體基板12的上表面12a上形成。溝槽13主要藉由圖4至圖6中所示的程序來形成。首先,如圖4所示,第一氧化膜50係在半導體基板12的上表面12a上形成。第一氧化膜50例如是氧化矽膜,並且可以藉由使用四乙氧基矽烷(TEOS)作為來源氣體的化學氣相沉積來形成。第一氧化膜50的厚度可以調整為例如1.5微米。在下述形成浮接區域42的步驟(S24)中,第一氧化膜50用作抑制P型雜質佈植到半導體基板12的上表面12a中的掩模。因此,第一氧化膜50可以被形成得相對厚。   [0031] 接著,如圖5所示,在第一氧化膜50上形成光阻掩模52,對光阻掩模52進行圖案化,接著對第一氧化膜50進行蝕刻。因此,開口50a係在第一氧化膜50中形成以對應於將要形成溝槽13的位置。第一氧化膜50的蝕刻可以是濕式蝕刻或乾式蝕刻。在將第一氧化膜50蝕刻之後,光阻掩模52被移除。接著,如圖6所示,半導體基板12係藉由使用形成有開口50a的第一氧化膜50作為掩模來進行蝕刻。因此,溝槽13係形成在半導體基板12的上表面12a中。半導體基板12的蝕刻可以例如藉由使用包含六氟化硫(SF6 )的蝕刻氣體的乾式蝕刻來進行。   [0032] 在半導體基板12的蝕刻期間,第一氧化膜50也同時被蝕刻。因此,第一氧化膜50的厚度被減少。如上所述,在形成下述浮接區域42的步驟(S24)中,第一氧化膜50用作P型雜質的掩模。因此,即使在半導體基板12的蝕刻之後,第一氧化膜50的厚度也需要保持一定的程度。例如,在實施例中,蝕刻之後的第一氧化膜50的厚度的期望值是設定為1.2微米以上。溝槽13的深度為3微米,而半導體基板12對第一氧化膜50的刻蝕選擇性為10。也就是說,在形成深度為3微米的溝槽13期間,第一氧化膜50的厚度減少了大約0.3微米。因此,最初,第一氧化膜50形成為1.5微米的厚度。從上面的描述可以清楚地看出,在形成期間,第一氧化膜50的厚度可以考慮溝槽13的深度、半導體基板12對於第一氧化膜50的蝕刻選擇性,以及用於形成浮接區域42的離子佈植的各個指標(例如,佈植程度)來適當地設置。   [0033] 回到圖2,在接下來的步驟S24中,浮接區域42係形成在半導體基板12中。浮接區域42主要透過圖7至圖10所示的程序來形成。首先,如圖7所示,第二氧化膜54係形成在溝槽13的側面13a和底面13b上。第二氧化膜54不僅可以在溝槽13中均勻地形成,而且可以在位於半導體基板12的上表面12a的第一氧化膜50上均勻地形成。第二氧化膜54例如是氧化矽膜,並且可以藉由使用四乙氧基矽烷(TEOS)作為來源氣體的化學氣相沉積來形成。在這種情況下,特別是,低壓化學氣相沉積(LP-CVD)具有優異的階梯覆蓋性和厚度均勻性,並且因此可以較佳地被採用來形成第二氧化膜54。   [0034] 在下面描述的P型雜質的離子佈植期間,第二氧化膜54用作抑制P型雜質被佈植進入溝槽13的側面13a的掩模。P型雜質進入半導體基板12的方向是垂直於半導體基板12(具體地,垂直於半導體基板12的下表面12b)。因此,為了抑制P型雜質佈植到溝槽13的側面13a中,在垂直於半導體基板12的方向上,位於溝槽13的側面13a上的第二氧化膜54的尺寸是重要的。在本實施例中,希望的尺寸值被設定為1.2微米以上。因此,假定溝槽13的側面13a不垂直於半導體基板12並且與半導體基板12形成85度的角度,則基於表達式1.2/tan85°=0.105 μm=105 nm,第二氧化膜54的厚度需要為105奈米以上。   [0035] 在下面描述的第二氧化膜54的乾式蝕刻期間,主要蝕刻位於溝槽13的底面13b上的第二氧化膜54,但同時也蝕刻位於溝槽13的側面13a上的第二氧化膜54。因此,在形成期間,也考慮蝕刻量以設定第二氧化膜54的厚度。例如,假設蝕刻量為30奈米,則形成期間的第二氧化膜54的厚度可以設定為135奈米以上。   [0036] 接著,如圖8所示,在溝槽13的底面13b上形成的第二氧化膜54係藉由乾式蝕刻來移除。儘管沒有被特別限制,但第二氧化膜54藉由乾式蝕刻來移除直到溝槽13的底面13b暴露。因此,穿過暴露溝槽13的底面13b的開口54a係形成在第二氧化膜54中。如圖9所示,第二氧化膜54的乾式刻蝕為反應離子刻蝕,並且刻蝕氣體112包含八氟環丁烷(C4 F8 )、氧(O2 )和氬(Ar)。例如,在八氟環丁烷的流量為每分鐘20標準立方厘米(sccm)的情況下,可以將氧氣的流量調整為10至15sccm,並且可以將氬氣的流量調整為約300 sccm。也就是說,供氧量較佳為八氟環丁烷(或其它CF基氣體)的供給量的50%〜75%。   [0037] 八氟環丁烷是具有碳原子環結構的CF基氣體的範例。代替八氟環丁烷或者除了八氟環丁烷之外,可以使用具有碳原子環結構的另一種CF基氣體。作為具有碳原子環結構的其它CF基氣體,可以採用由化學式C4 F6 、C4 F8 、C5 F8 和C5 HF7 中的任一個表示的CF基氣體。   [0038] 作為CF基氣體的八氟環丁烷(C4 F8 )是供應自由基的氣體,並且與構成半導體基板12的氧和原子(Si、C)發生化學反應以產生反應產物。另一方面,氬氣是供應離子輔助反應所需要的離子的氣體。電離氬的入射角在位於溝槽13的側面13a上的第二氧化膜54中相對較小,並且在位於溝槽13的底面13b上的第二氧化膜54中相對較大。由於入射角的變化,主要位於溝槽13的底面13b上的第二氧化膜54中產生反應產物(即,蝕刻)。反應產物從溝槽13的底面13b揮發,接著沉積在位於溝槽13的側面13a上的第二氧化膜54上以形成保護第二氧化膜54的保護膜。保護膜例如是碳氟化合物膜,其包含碳和氟作為成分元素並且選擇性地還包含氧。   [0039] 此時,在供給自由基的CF基氣體具有碳原子環結構的情況下,反應產物不容易分解成小分子而容易沉積。因此,更大量的反應產物在被排出到溝槽13的外部之前沉積在位於溝槽13的側面13a上的第二氧化膜54上。因此,保護膜被更有效地形成。因此,位於溝槽13的側面13a上的第二氧化膜54被保護,並且位於溝槽13的底面13b上的第二氧化膜54被選擇性地移除。因此,第二氧化物膜54可以在溝槽13的側面13a上形成得較厚,而第二氧化物膜54可以在溝槽13的底面13b上形成得非常薄,或者可以從底面13b被完全移除。   [0040] 如上所述,具有碳原子環結構的CF基氣體不容易被解離。這表示CF基氣體的離解所需電子密度較高,其使得反應離子刻蝕難以控制。關於這一點,在所述實施例中,如圖9所示,使用了包含兩個交流電源的電容式耦接電漿蝕刻裝置100。電漿蝕刻裝置100包含:蝕刻室102;以及在蝕刻室102中彼此面對的一對電極104、106;以及兩個交流電源108、110。位於下方的電極104作為載物台,而半導體基板12配置在電極104上。交流電源108與位於下方的電極104電連接,並且將交流電供應給電極104。交流電源110與位於上方的電極106電連接,並且將交流電供應給電極106。位於上方的電極106需要被供應能夠產生電漿的電力。例如,可以將1000瓦特以上的交流電供應給電極106。另一方面,位於下方的電極104需要被供應用於吸引離子的電力。在供應給電極104的電力過高的情況下,形成的保護膜被無意地蝕刻。因此,最好向位於下方的電極104供應例如600瓦特以下的交流電。電漿蝕刻裝置100不限於實施例中描述的配置,並且可以具有其它配置。   [0041] 在反應性離子蝕刻期間,半導體基板12的溫度過高的情況下,沉積在溝槽13的側面13a上的保護膜可能被熱能解離。因此,半導體基板12的溫度最好盡可能低,例如,可以調整到25攝氏度(℃)以下。此外,為了獲得較高的電子密度,蝕刻室102的內部壓力盡可能高,例如可以調整為5帕斯卡(Pa)以上。然而,反應性離子蝕刻的各種指標不限於說明書中描述的值並且可以適當地改變。   [0042] 在反應性離子蝕刻中,使用氬氣作為提供離子輔助反應所需離子的氣體。通常,作為供給離子的氣體,例如,氦(He)被廣泛地使用。但是,在實施例中使用氦的情況下,供給自由基的CF基氣體的解離度變得過高,因而保護膜的形成進一步受到抑制。另一方面,在使用氬的情況下,CF基氣體的解離度被抑制在合適的範圍內,因此能夠促進保護膜的形成。即,在CF基氣體的離解度適當低的情況下,自由基能量也適當地被減少。因此,反應產物殘留在溝槽13中,並且很可能是附著在溝槽13的側面13a。   [0043] 接著,如圖10所示,P型雜質離子佈植穿過半導體基板12的上表面12a側。圖10中由箭頭P指示的群體示意性地顯示佈植到半導體基板12中的P型雜質。半導體基板12的上表面12a和溝槽13的側面13a被第一氧化膜50或第二氧化膜54覆蓋。另一方面,溝槽13的底面13b藉由第二氧化膜54的開口54a而暴露。因此,P型雜質僅穿過溝槽13的底面13b而被導入到半導體基板12內。因此,P型雜質被引入到將要形成浮接區域42的區域中。如上所述,第二氧化膜54在溝槽13的底面13b上形成得較厚。因此,P型雜質的離子佈植可以藉由選擇相對較高的加速能量在相對較高的佈植階層進行。例如,在實施例中,在佈植P型雜質的方向上,第二氧化膜54的尺寸為1.2微米以上。因此,加速能量最多可以增加到300千電子伏特(keV)。藉由進一步增加位於溝槽13的底面13b上的第二氧化膜54的厚度,可以進一步增加加速能量。因此,浮接區域42可以形成在更深的位置。佈植到半導體基板12中的P型雜質藉由隨後的退火被致動。   [0044] 回到圖2,在接下來的步驟S26中,閘極電極14係在溝槽13中形成。在此步驟中,首先,閘極絕緣膜14a係在溝槽13的側面13a和底面13b上形成。接著,閘極電極14係形成在溝槽13中。接著,層間絕緣膜14b被形成以覆蓋溝槽13中的閘極電極14。接著,在步驟S28中,源極電極16(參照圖1)係形成在半導體基板12的上表面12a上。在步驟S30中,汲極電極18(參照圖1)係形成在半導體基板12的下表面12b上。接著,藉由諸如切割的數個步驟來製造半導體裝置10。在製造半導體裝置10的方法中,選擇性地進一步執行其它額外的步驟。   [0045] 如上所述,在根據實施例的製造半導體裝置10的方法中,在形成浮接區域42的步驟(S24)中,第二氧化膜54係形成在溝槽13的側面13a和底面13b上,接著藉由乾式蝕刻從溝槽13的底面13b將第二氧化膜54移除。所述乾式蝕刻是反應性離子蝕刻,其中使用了包含具有碳原子環結構的CF基氣體、氧氣和氬氣之蝕刻氣體112。因此,可以在溝槽13的側面13a上形成相對較厚的第二氧化膜54,而第二氧化膜54可以在溝槽13的底面13b上被形成為非常薄的或可以從底面13b被完全移除。   [0046] 儘管結果是範例性的,將參照圖11和圖12來描述在乾式蝕刻之前和之後測量第二氧化膜54的厚度的實驗結果。如圖11所示,在實驗中,在乾式蝕刻之前和之後的第二氧化膜54的厚度在包含下列四點處被測量:溝槽13的側面13a的上部(A);溝槽13的側面13a的中間部(B);溝槽13的側面13a的下部(C);以及溝槽13的底面13b(D)。此外,為了探討取決於半導體晶圓的位置的效果,在位於半導體晶圓的中央部分的溝槽13與位於半導體晶圓的外圍邊緣部分的溝槽13中進行相同的測量。圖12顯示結果。如圖12所示,與半導體晶圓的位置無關,發現與位於溝槽13的側面13a上的第二氧化膜54相比,位於溝槽13的底面13b上的第二氧化膜54被選擇性地移除。特別是,發現即使在第二氧化膜54被乾式蝕刻的情況下,第二氧化膜54具有殘留在溝槽13的側面13a上的足夠厚度,直到位於溝槽13的底面13b上的第二氧化膜54被完全移除。   [0047] 在實施例中描述的技術,特別是形成浮接區域42的步驟(S24)的方法不僅可以應用於浮接區域42的形成,而且可以應用於在具有各種其它結構的半導體裝置中形成任意類型的區域的步驟。具體地,所述實施例的技術可以較佳地應用於需要藉由形成在半導體基板中的溝槽的底面執行的導電雜質的離子佈植的情況。   [0048] 實施例中描述的技術不限於構成半導體基板12的材料是碳化矽的情況。例如,在實施例中描述的技術也可以應用於構成半導體基板12的材料是矽或其它半導體材料的情況。在構成半導體基板12的材料是矽的情況下,即使當導電雜質被無意地佈植入溝槽13的側面中,也容易藉由乾式蝕刻或犧牲氧化來移除溝槽13的側面13a。另一方面,在構成半導體基板12的材料是碳化矽的情況下,原子之間的結合能量相對較高。因此,難以藉由乾式刻蝕或犧牲氧化來移除溝槽13的側面13a。因此,實施例中描述的技術可以特別較佳地應用於構成半導體基板12的材料是碳化矽的情況。   [0049] 上文中,已經詳細描述了本發明的具體範例。然而,這些範例僅僅是範例性的,並不限制申請專利範圍。說明書或圖式中所描述的技術特徵在單獨使用或組合使用時展現技術意義,並且不限於在提交申請時的申請專利範圍中描述的組合。說明書或圖式中例示的技術同時實現了複數個目的,並且藉由實現其中一個目的而獲得了技術意義。
