Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bipolar semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to a bipolar semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof in which a current level is increased by removing surface states generated on the surface of a semiconductor element.
- SiC silicon carbide
- junction SiC power semiconductor devices include static induction transistors (Static Induction Transistor, “SIT”), junction field effect transistors (Junction Field Effect Transistor, “JFET”), or bipolar junction transistors (Bipolar Junction Transistor, “BJT”). ”)and so on.
- SIT Static Induction Transistor
- JFET junction field effect transistors
- BJT Bipolar Junction Transistor
- BJT is stacked on the low resistance n + -type 4H-SiC (0001) plane 8 degree off substrate in the order of n ⁇ -type high resistance region, p-type base region, and n + -type emitter region from the bottom. It is formed.
- the emitter region is composed of a number of elongated regions. Electrodes for establishing electrical connection to the outside are formed in the emitter region, base region, and collector region.
- FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional structure of the BJT disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1.
- the BJT 500 includes an n-type low resistance collector region 501, an n-type high resistance region 502, a p-type base region 503, an n-type low-resistance emitter region 504, and a p-type low resistance formed so as to surround the emitter region.
- a base contact region 505 of a resistance region is provided.
- a collector electrode 506, a base electrode 507, and an emitter electrode 508 for electrical connection are joined to the outside of the collector region 501, the base region 503 (base contact region 505), and the emitter region 504, respectively. Further, the entire exposed surface other than the electrodes of the BJT 500 is covered with a surface protective film 509.
- a SiC semiconductor device In a SiC semiconductor device, atoms with uncompleted bonds exist on the SiC surface at a high density, and surface levels are formed. Electrons and holes generated inside the junction-type SiC semiconductor device are actively recombined at the surface level. Therefore, in order to increase the current amplification factor of the semiconductor device, recombination of electrons and holes is prevented. It is necessary. Therefore, if the surface level is removed in advance, the probability of recombination of electrons and holes can be reduced.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a laminated structure made of a metal, an oxide film and a SiC semiconductor.
- This laminated structure is a MOS structure in which an oxide film is formed on the surface of a SiC semiconductor and a metal is further formed on the oxide film.
- electrical characteristics such as a current-voltage curve are affected according to the manufacturing conditions of the MOS structure. For this reason, the thickness of the oxide film was defined to eliminate the influence of the surface potential due to the MOS structure.
- Patent Document 2 relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, which reduces the interface state density of a gate region of a SiC semiconductor.
- the semiconductor device is a MOS semiconductor in which a gate insulating film is formed, and is a unipolar semiconductor.
- the semiconductor device of Patent Document 2 by reducing the interface state density formed in the vicinity of the bottom of the conduction band, there is an effect on electrons, and the resistance of the channel region can be reduced.
- main current main current
- control current the current flowing between the main electrodes
- control current the base current or the gate current flowing through the control electrode
- the factor that lowers the current amplification factor is the recombination level of the semiconductor surface.

上記の熱酸化膜31の上にPSG膜(P(リン)を含むパッシベーション膜(Phospho-Silicate-Glass))を堆積し、図3に示されるように堆積酸化膜32を例えば略5000Åの厚みで形成する。その後に、NH3(アンモニアガス)を用いてアニール処理(熱処理)が行われる。このNH3アニール処理は、例えば、740℃の温度条件で50~100分行われ、圧力条件は1mbarである。またガス雰囲気の条件としてN2(窒素ガス)とNH3(アンモニアガス)の比は1:1.2である。
次に、図4を参照して、本発明によるバイポーラ型半導体装置の第2実施例を説明する。第2実施例でもバイポーラ型半導体装置はBJT200である。第2実施例によるBJT200の製造工程は、第1実施例に比較して、界面不活性化処理と表面保護膜形成の工程(ステップS18)の内容が異なるだけであり、その他の工程(ステップS11~S17、S19~S21)は第1実施例のBJT製造工程と同じである。
次に、図5を参照して、本発明によるバイポーラ型半導体装置の第3実施例を説明する。第3実施例のバイポーラ型半導体装置はpnダイオード300である。半導体装置がpnダイオード300である場合には、その積層構造は、図2(a)に示された積層構造に比較して、カソード領域61とアノード領域62とから成る2層構造によって構成される。pnダイオード300においても、その露出したSiC表面に対して界面不活性化処理と表面保護膜形成の工程が実施される。この工程の内容は、第1の実施形態で説明したステップS18の工程と同じ内容である。その他の製造工程は、pnダイオードの製造工程に応じて決定され、変更される。カソード領域61にはカソード電極63が形成され、アノード領域62にはアノード電極64が形成され、ている。また隣り合うアノード電極64(またはアノード領域62)の間にSiC表面には、第1実施例の場合と同様に、熱酸化膜31と堆積酸化膜32の積層構造から成る表面保護膜30が、図5のアノード電極64を除くアノード領域62からカソード領域61までのSiC表面に形成されている。第3実施例においても、第1実施例と同様な効果がある。熱酸化膜31と堆積酸化膜32のそれぞれの製造方法は第1実施例の製造方法と同じである。
次に、図6を参照して、本発明によるバイポーラ型半導体装置の第4実施例を説明する。第4実施例のバイポーラ型半導体装置もpnダイオード400である。半導体装置がpnダイオード400であるので、第3実施例と同様に、積層構造は、カソード領域61とアノード領域62とから成る2層構造である。当該第4実施例は、第3実施例のpnダイオードにおいて、第2実施例と同様に、表面保護膜30を熱酸化膜31と堆積酸化膜32と堆積窒化膜33から成る積層構造で形成している。第4実施例のpnダイオード400においても、SiC表面に対して、第2実施例と同じ界面不活性化処理と表面保護膜形成の工程が実施される。この工程の内容は、第2実施例におけるステップS18に相当する工程と同じ内容である。その他の製造工程の内容は、pnダイオードの製造工程に応じて決定される。図6において、その他の構造は図5で示した構造と同じである。隣り合うアノード電極64(またはアノード領域62)の間のSiC表面には、第2実施例と同様に、熱酸化膜31と堆積酸化膜32と堆積窒化膜33の積層構造から成る表面保護膜30が、図6のアノード電極64を除くアノード領域62からカソード領域61までのSiC表面に形成されている。熱酸化膜31と堆積酸化膜32と堆積窒化膜33のそれぞれの製造方法は、第2実施例で説明した製造方法と同じである。
