- the semiconductor device 1 according to the present embodiment is characterized in that in the semiconductor device 1 including the chip 10 having the interlayer insulating film 17, the groove 2 is formed in the interlayer insulating film 17 so as to cross the chip 10. Yes.
- the semiconductor device 1 in the present embodiment since the groove is formed in the interlayer insulating film 17, the warp generated after the interlayer insulating film 17 is formed is alleviated. For this reason, since the semiconductor device 1 is manufactured while reducing the influence of warpage, variations in characteristics of the semiconductor device 1 can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the groove 2 is formed between the chips 10, the chip 10 can be prevented from being damaged. Therefore, the semiconductor device 1 with improved characteristics can be realized.
- Samples a to c were manufactured by the following steps. Specifically, first, an SiC substrate was prepared. The curvature of the SiC substrate of sample c was measured. Warpage was measured using light interference fringes. The result is shown as before epi in FIG. In FIG. 23, the warp of 0 means that the measurement surface is parallel to the horizontal reference surface.
- the warpage generated in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device can be effectively suppressed by providing the step of forming the groove in the film formed on the semiconductor layer. Further, it has been confirmed that the warpage generated in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device is more influenced by the warpage generated in the manufacturing process after forming the semiconductor layer than the warpage of the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract
Description
次に、図3および図13に示すように、絶縁膜15をパターニングする(ステップS11)。このステップS11では、ソース領域14上にソース電極18を形成するために、ソース領域上に位置する絶縁膜15を除去する。
試料a~cを以下の工程により製造した。具体的には、まず、SiC基板を準備した。試料cのSiC基板の反りを測定した。反りは、光の干渉縞を用いて測定した。その結果を図23のエピ前として示す。なお、図23において、反りが0とは、測定面が水平基準面に対して平行であることを意味する。
図23に示すように、絶縁膜に溝を形成することにより、試料a~cのすべてにおいて反りを大幅に低減できた。このことから、膜に溝を形成することにより、半導体装置の製造プロセスにおいて生じる反りを低減できることがわかった。
