- p-type SiC it is possible to keep the contact resistance low by using Ti (titanium) / Al (aluminum) or an AlSi alloy (Non-Patent Document 1).
- An SiC vertical MOSFET used for controlling a large current often realizes an ohmic contact by using a Ni-based or NiSi-based material as a source electrode disposed in a source region of n-type SiC.
- a large number of one unit forming a MOSFET is arranged in parallel, and a predetermined electric circuit is formed by internal wiring.
- Al can be used as an ohmic electrode material and at the same time as an internal wiring.
- SiC it is difficult to use Al in common for the ohmic electrode and the internal wiring because it is difficult to obtain good ohmic contact between SiC and Al below the melting point of Al.
- the Ni-based or NiSi-based material is not used for the internal wiring because the electrical resistance is not so low and it is difficult to obtain an appropriate wire.
- the Ni-based material is difficult to obtain a good ohmic contact with the p-type SiC.
- an Al-based (Al, AlSi alloy, AlSiCu alloy, etc.) material is often used for internal wiring.

- TiAlSi alloys and Al, AlSi alloys, or AlSiCu alloys are less likely to form intermetallic compounds that increase electrical resistance.
- Silicon carbide is often used in a high-temperature environment due to its own heat generation or other factors because of its high heat resistance, due to its high heat resistance. For this reason, depending on the combination of the electrode material and the wiring material, an intermetallic compound that increases the electrical resistance may occur.
- the TiAlSi alloy can contain other elements such as C mixed during the production.
- a barrier layer is interposed between the contact electrode and the wiring so that the contact electrode and the wiring do not directly contact each other, and the wiring and the contact electrode can be brought into conduction by contacting the barrier layer.
- the electrode material and the wiring material are less likely to generate an intermetallic compound that increases electrical resistance, but are unstable due to the presence of a conductive barrier layer between the contact electrode and the wiring. Factors can be further reduced.
- the adhesion between the contact electrode and the wiring can be improved by forming a thin barrier layer of about several nanometers such as Ti that improves the adhesion. In other words, the ultrathin layer provided for improving adhesion is also included in the barrier layer.

SiCの縦型MOSFETでは、半導体、ゲート酸化膜等を含む基板材料の表面と裏面とに電極配線構造が形成される。電極の形成において、これまで膨大な使用実績のあるシリコンに比べて、SiCでは、接触抵抗を小さくできる電極材料を充分な種類見出せていない。この状況のなかで、n型SiCについては、Ni(ニッケル)系の電極材料を用い、合金化熱処理(約1000℃での熱処理)を行うことでシリサイド化したニッケルシリサイドとの接合によりオーミック接触を得ている。また、p型SiCについては、Ti(チタン)/Al(アルミニウム)、またはAlSi合金を用いることで接触抵抗を低く抑えることが可能とされている(非特許文献1)。
大電流の制御に用いられるSiCの縦型MOSFETは、n型SiCのソース領域に配置されるソース電極として、Ni系またはNiSi系材料を用いることで、オーミックコンタクトを実現する場合が多い。これは、上述の非特許文献に開示されていることと合致する。1個のチップには、MOSFETを形成する1ユニットが、多数、並列に配置され、内部配線によって、所定の電気回路が形成されている。従来のシリコン半導体装置では、たとえばAlをオーミック電極材料として用いると同時に内部配線としても共通に用いることが可能である。しかしながら、SiCの場合は、Alをオーミック電極と内部配線を共通に用いることは、Alの融点以下でSiC-Al間の良好なオーミック接触を得ることは困難であるため難しい。また、上記のNi系またはNiSi系材料は、電気抵抗がそれほど低いものではなく、また適切な線材を得ることが困難である等の理由により、内部配線に用いられない。また、Ni系材料は、上記のように、p型SiCとは良好なオーミック接触が得られにくい。SiC半導体装置の場合、内部配線には、Al系(Al、AlSi合金、AlSiCu合金など)材料を用いることが多い。この場合、長期間の使用において、内部配線に用いられる当該Al系材料と、電極に用いられるNi系またはNiSi系材料とで、電気抵抗の高い金属間化合物、たとえばNiAl3などを生じる可能性がある(非特許文献2)。

n+SiC基板11はドレイン領域を形成しており、n+SiC基板11の裏面11bには、ドレイン電極20が設けられている。
ソース接触電極16は、TiとAlとSiとを含む合金(TiAlSi合金)によって形成される。また、ソース内部配線19は、AlまたはAl合金(AlSi合金、AlSiCu合金など)によって形成される。従来のように、ソース接触電極16にニッケル(Ni)を用いた場合、長時間の使用により、内部配線に通常用いられるAlまたはAl合金中のAlと反応してNiAl3などの高電気抵抗の金属間化合物を生成する危険性があった。本実施の形態におけるように、ソース接触電極16にTiAlSi合金を用いることで、ソース内部配線19にAlまたはAl合金を用いても、電気抵抗の高い金属間化合物を生成するおそれはない。このため、長期間、高い信頼性を維持することができる。
上記の熱酸化膜15aの形成(工程S7)の際にn+型SiC基板11の裏面11b上に熱酸化膜23が形成される。この熱酸化膜23は、n+型SiC基板11の保護膜として機能する。
このあと、図4に示すように、ゲート電極17を形成する(工程S8)。ゲート電極17は、ポリシリコン、Alなどからなり、ゲート酸化膜となる熱酸化膜15aを介在させて一方のソース領域14から他方のソース領域14上にわたって延在する。ゲート電極の素材としてポリシリコンを用いる場合、電子導電性を確保するため、Pなどの不純物が1×1020cm-3を超える高い濃度となるようにする。堆積するポリシリコン膜の厚みは50nm程度とするのがよい。
このあと、図5に示すように、層間絶縁膜21を形成する(工程S9)。層間絶縁膜21は、ゲート電極17および酸化膜15aを覆うように、たとえばCVD法によって、厚み約1μmのSiO2膜によって形成される。次いで、図6に示すように、ソース接触電極16を形成する領域に開口部を有するレジストパターン91を形成する。そのレジストパターン91をマスクとして用いて、たとえばRIEによって、ソース接触電極を形成する領域の層間絶縁膜21およびゲート酸化膜15aを部分的に除去して、ソース接触電極を形成する部分のエピタキシャル層の表面領域を露出させる。
このあと、図6に示すように、ソース接触電極16を形成する(工程S10)。次いで、レジストパターン91を除去すると、ソース接触電極形成時に堆積されたレジスト膜上の層はリフトオフされる。次いで、n+型SiC基板11の裏面11bを露出させて清浄化した後、図7に示すように、ドレイン電極20を、ソース接触電極16と同じ材料によって形成する(工程S11)。
上記の両方の電極16,20ともに、TiAlSi合金の電極を形成する。図3は、このTiAlSi合金の電極を製造するためのより詳しいフローチャートである。図3のS10aまたはS11a~S10cまたはS11cに示すように、Ti膜、Al膜、およびSi膜を、SiCエピタキシャル層12の表面12a、およびSiC基板11の裏面11bの両方の面に、上記3種類の層を上記順序で積層する。積層方法は、スパッタリング法などを用いるのがよい。次いで、たとえばソース接触電極16を形成するときは、上述のように、レジスト膜91を除去することで、レジスト膜上に積層されていた、Ti膜、Al膜,Si膜を除去(リフトオフ)する。これによって、図7に示すように、ゲート酸化膜15から露出するSiCエピタキシャル層12の表面12a、およびSiC基板11の裏面11b、の面上に、Ti膜、Al膜、Si膜からなる3層膜が残る。
次に、Arなどの不活性雰囲気中で、550℃~1200℃の温度域、好ましくは900℃~1100℃の温度域に、10分間以下の時間保持する。たとえば1000℃程度に2分間程度保持する(合金化処理)。この合金化処理によって、ソース接触電極の側については、Ti膜、Al膜、Si膜およびSiCエピタキシャル層12が合金化され、当該ソース接触電極16が形成される(工程S10d)。また、ドレイン電極の側については、Ti膜、Al膜、Si膜、およびSiC基板11が合金化され、当該ドレイン電極20が形成される(工程S11d)。図7は、合金化処理を行って、ソース接触電極16およびドレイン電極20を形成する材料をTiAlSi合金としたあとの状態を示す。
図8の状態のウエハにパッシベーション保護膜29を堆積すると、図1の半導体装置10を得ることができる。
(1)TiAlSi合金によるソース接触電極16と、そのソース接触電極16に導通をとる、AlまたはAl合金のソース内部配線19との組み合わせによって、長期間使用しても、電気抵抗の増大をもたらす金属間化合物は生じない。この結果、低い電気抵抗のソース電極を長期間、安定して維持することができる。
(2)TiAlSi合金という1種類のソース接触電極16によって、ソースn+SiC領域14およびp+型領域18の両方にオーミック接触することができるので、製造工程を簡単化することができる。さらにレジスト膜の形成回数の減少による寸法精度の向上による利点(集積度の向上、歩留まり向上、品質向上)を得ることができる。
n型ドレイン電極20についても、ソース接触電極16と、同じ機会に並行して、TiAlSi合金によって形成することができる。これによる製造工程の簡単化も得ることができる。本実施の形態では、nチャネルが形成されるように導電型を定めたが、pチャネルが形成されるように導電型を上述した内容と逆に定めてもよい。また、MOSFET10におけるn+SiC基板11の導電性をp+としたIGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)であってもよい。
図9は、本発明の実施の形態2における半導体装置であるSiCのMOSFETを示す図である。実施の形態1との相違は、ソース接触電極16と、ソース内部配線19との間に、バリア層25を介在させた点にある。その他の構成は、実施の形態1と同じである。本発明においては、ソース接触電極16はTiAlSi合金で形成され、ソース内部配線19はAlまたはAl合金で形成される。両者の金属が反応して電気抵抗が高い金属間化合物を生成することはないので、バリア層25は、両者の元素の拡散をブロックする必要度は小さい。このため、バリア層25を、ソース接触電極16およびソース内部配線19の密着性向上を主目的として、数nm程度の厚みのTi層としてもよい。また、使用環境の高温化などに対処し、ソース接触電極16とソース内部配線19との反応を、より確実に防止することを目的に、バリア層25は数十nm~数千nmの厚みの次の材料の層であってもよい。すなわち、
バリア層25は{チタン(Ti)、タンタル(Ta)、タングステン(W)、ニオブ(Nb)、バナジウム(V)、ジルコニウム(Zr)、チタン窒化物、タンタル窒化物、タングステン窒化物、ニオブ窒化物、バナジウム窒化物、ジルコニウム窒化物、チタン珪化物、タンタル珪化物、タングステン珪化物、ニオブ珪化物、バナジウム珪化物、ジルコニウム珪化物}の少なくとも一種の層であってもよい。
(1)薄いTi膜等を用いることで、密着性の向上
(2)RIE等におけるエッチング選択性の向上による加工性向上
(3)ソース接触電極16とソース内部配線19の熱膨張差の緩和
図10は、本発明の実施の形態3における半導体装置である接合型電界効果トランジスタJFET30を示す断面図である。SiC・JFET30は、次のエピタキシャル積層構造を持つ。(n型基板31/第1のp型層32/n型層33/第2のp型層34)
第1のp型層32は、たとえば厚み10μm程度、p型不純物濃度は7.5×1015cm-3程度とするのがよい。n型層33は、たとえば厚み0.45μm程度、n型不純物濃度2×1017cm-3程度とするのがよい。第2のp型層34は、たとえば厚み0.25μm程度、p型不純物濃度2×1017cm-3程度とするのがよい。
第2のp型層34の表面34aから、当該第2のp型層を貫通して、n型層33に突き出る領域35,36,37を備える。突き出た領域35,36,37の底部先端と、第1のp型層32との間には、十分な厚みのn型層33が介在するようにする。
中央部において下方に(SiC基板31に向かって)突き出る領域は、p+型ゲート領域36であり、ゲート接触電極41/ゲート内部配線46と電気的に接続されている。ゲート接触電極41/ゲート内部配線46によってゲート電極62が形成される。また、n+ドレイン領域37は、ドレイン接触電極42/ドレイン内部配線47に電気的に接続されている。ドレイン接触電極42/ドレイン内部配線47によって、ドレイン電極63が形成される。n+ソース領域35は、ソース接触電極39/ソース内部配線45と電気的に接続される。
n+ソース領域35およびn+ドレイン領域37においては、たとえばn型不純物濃度1×1020cm-3であり、n型層33のn型不純物濃度よりも数オーダー高い。p+ゲート領域36においては、たとえばp型不純物濃度1×1018cm-3であり、第1のp型層32および第2のp型層34のp型不純物濃度よりも数オーダー高い。
接触電極44,39,41,42の間は、酸化膜38によって被覆され、接触電極間の絶縁性が確保されている。内部配線45,46,47の間は、パッシベーション膜64、たとえばSiO2膜によって被覆、充填され、絶縁性が確保されている。パッシベーション膜64は、内部配線45,46,47の間の絶縁だけでなく、外部との絶縁をし、かつJFET30を外部環境から保護する。
また、ソース内部配線45、ゲート内部配線46、およびドレイン内部配線47は、すべて、同一のAlまたはAl合金で形成されている。これによって、すべての接触電極39,41,42,44と、内部配線45,46,47との組み合わせにおいて、長期間使用しても、電気抵抗を増大させる金属間化合物などを生じない。
ゲート接触電極41に負電圧を印加してゆくと、p+ゲート領域36とn型層33との界面であるpn接合に逆バイアス電圧が充分かかり、空乏層が、不純物濃度が低いほうのn型層33に広がってゆく。この結果、チャネル領域およびドリフト領域は空乏化され、n+ソース領域35とn+ドレイン領域37とは電気的に遮断され、電流は流れない(オフ状態)。
JFET30は、上記の機構によって、電流のオンオフ制御を行う。
溝部71は、実施の形態1のMOSFET10にはなかった構造であるが、たとえば溝部71に対応する部分に開口を有するマスク層を、第2のp型層34の表面34aに設けて、SF6ガスを用いたドライエッチングによって形成することができる。
このあとn+ソース領域等のイオン注入による形成を行う。たとえば、n+ソース領域35およびn+ドレイン領域37は、実施の形態1で説明したように、酸化膜パターンの形成→n型不純物のイオン注入、により形成される。p+ゲート領域36およびp+電位保持領域43についても、不純物の種類が異なるだけで、酸化膜パターンをマスクとして用いてイオン注入する点では同じである。ただし、溝部に形成されるp+電位保持領域43の深さがp+ゲート領域36よりも浅い場合には、機会を分けてイオン注入することになる。このあと、アルゴンなどの不活性雰囲気中で1700℃×30分間程度の活性化アニール処理を行うことは、実施の形態1,2と同様である。
酸化膜38は、活性化アニール処理後に、酸素雰囲気中で1300℃×30分間の処理により、フィールド酸化膜として形成される。
このあと、4つの接触電極39,41,42,44に対応する部分に開口を有するレジストパターンを酸化膜38の上に形成して、レジストパターンをマスクとして用いて、RIE等によって開口位置の酸化膜38を除去する。その後、Tiと、Alと、Siとを同時にスパッタリングする混合スパッタリングによってTiAlSi混合膜を形成する。実施の形態1、2では、Ti膜/Al膜/Si膜を積層した。レジスト膜の除去によって、レジスト膜上のTiAlSi混合膜をリフトオフし、次いで、TiAlSi混合膜をTiAlSi合金とするための合金化処理を行う。合金化処理では、アルゴンなどの不活性雰囲気中で、550℃~1200℃の温度域、好ましくは900℃~1100℃の温度域に加熱する。たとえば1000℃に加熱して、10分間以下、たとえば2分間保持する。上記の処理によって、1回のレジストパターンの形成によって、下地の半導体層とすべてオーミック接触する、4つの接触電極39,41,42,44が形成される。
次いで、ソース配線45、ゲート配線46、ドレイン配線47を形成する。これらの配線は、各配線を形成する部分に開口を有するレジストパターンを形成し、AlまたはAl合金を蒸着することで、形成する。AlまたはAl合金を蒸着後に、レジストパターンを除去することで、レジストパターン上のAlまたはAl合金をリフトオフする。
上記の製造方法によれば、4種類の接触電極39,41,42,44は、すべてTiAlSi合金で形成し、配線45,46,47はAlまたはAl合金で形成する。このため、NiAl3のような電気抵抗が高い金属間化合物が生じることがない。
