Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device using an inclined surface formed in a silicon carbide layer and including a predetermined crystal plane.
- SiC silicon carbide
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-235546
- the side wall of the trench (groove) in which the gate electrode and the gate insulating film are disposed is tapered. Proposed. Specifically, the semiconductor layer made of silicon carbide is partially removed by anisotropic etching using an etching mask having an opening pattern, and then isotropic etching is performed, thereby forming grooves formed in the semiconductor layer. The side wall is tapered.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device manufacturing method capable of obtaining a high-quality semiconductor device having stable characteristics. That is.
- a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes a step of preparing a silicon carbide layer having a main surface, a step of forming a groove in the main surface by partially removing the silicon carbide layer, and thermal etching. And a step of partially removing the side wall of the groove.
- the side wall of the groove can be formed into a semipolar surface such as a ⁇ 03-3-8 ⁇ plane in a self-forming manner. Further, since the side wall of the groove is partially removed using thermal etching, a work-affected layer or the like is not formed on the side wall of the groove after processing. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a high-quality semiconductor device using the side wall of the groove having the semipolar surface as a channel.
- the thickness of the removed side wall surface is sufficiently increased (for example, 0.1 ⁇ m or more), so that the work-affected layer is formed on the side wall. Even when this occurs, the work-affected layer can be removed.
- the semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a substrate having a main surface and a silicon carbide layer.
- the silicon carbide layer is formed on the main surface of the substrate.
- the silicon carbide layer includes an end face inclined with respect to the main surface.
- the end face substantially includes one of the ⁇ 03-3-8 ⁇ plane and the ⁇ 01-1-4 ⁇ plane
- the silicon carbide layer has a crystal type of In the case of a cubic crystal, it substantially includes the ⁇ 100 ⁇ plane.
- the end face substantially includes any one of the ⁇ 03-3-8 ⁇ plane and the ⁇ 01-1-4 ⁇ plane.
- the crystal plane constituting the end face is the ⁇ 03-3-8 ⁇ plane.
- the ⁇ 01-1-4 ⁇ plane, and the crystal plane constituting the end face is the ⁇ 03-3-8 ⁇ plane or the ⁇ 01-1-4 plane in the ⁇ 1-100> direction ⁇
- the off angle with respect to the surface is a surface of -3 ° or more and 3 ° or less.
- the “off angle with respect to the ⁇ 03-3-8 ⁇ plane or the ⁇ 01-1-4 ⁇ plane in the ⁇ 1-100> direction” refers to the plane extending in the ⁇ 1-100> direction and the ⁇ 0001> direction.
- the end face substantially includes the ⁇ 100 ⁇ plane means that the crystal plane constituting the end face is the ⁇ 100 ⁇ plane, and the crystal plane constituting the end face is an arbitrary crystal orientation from the ⁇ 100 ⁇ plane. Means a crystal plane having an off angle of ⁇ 3 ° to 3 °.
- the end face of the silicon carbide layer is substantially any of the ⁇ 03-3-8 ⁇ plane, the ⁇ 01-1-4 ⁇ plane, and the ⁇ 100 ⁇ plane.
- the end face which is a semipolar surface can be used as an active region of the semiconductor device. Since these end faces are stable crystal faces, when the end faces are used for active regions such as channel regions, they are more stable than when other crystal faces (for example, (0001) faces) are used for active regions. Thus, the leakage current can be sufficiently reduced and a high breakdown voltage can be obtained.
- a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes a step of preparing a substrate on which a silicon carbide layer is formed, and a step of forming an end face inclined with respect to the main surface of the silicon carbide layer.
- the step of forming the end face the main surface of the silicon carbide layer is partially removed by etching by heating the silicon carbide layer while contacting the silicon carbide layer with a reaction gas containing oxygen and chlorine.
- An end face inclined with respect to the main surface of the silicon carbide layer is formed.
- the crystal type of the silicon carbide layer is hexagonal, the end face substantially includes one of the ⁇ 03-3-8 ⁇ plane and the ⁇ 01-1-4 ⁇ plane, and the silicon carbide layer has a crystal type of In the case of a cubic crystal, it substantially includes the ⁇ 100 ⁇ plane. In this case, the semiconductor device according to the present invention can be easily manufactured.

Abstract
Description
図1を参照して、本発明による半導体装置の実施の形態1を説明する。
図13を参照して、本発明による半導体装置の実施の形態2を説明する。
図23を参照して、本発明による半導体装置の実施の形態3を説明する。
図24に示した半導体装置は、基本的には図23に示した半導体装置と同様の構造を備えるが、ガードリング45(図23参照)に代えてJTE(Junction Termination Extension)領域46が形成されている点が異なる。JTE領域46は、導電型がp型の領域である。このようなJTE領域46も、図23に示したガードリング45と同様にイオン注入および活性化アニールを実施することにより形成することができる。そして、図23に示した半導体装置の製造方法と同様に、図24に示した半導体装置の製造方法においても、JTE領域46を形成するためのイオン注入後の活性化アニール処理においては、少なくとも側面20を覆うようなキャップ層を形成することなく活性化アニール処理を実施する。このようにしても、側面20は安定な結晶面(たとえば{03-3-8}面)によって構成されているため、当該活性アニールによっても側面20の表面が荒れるといった問題は発生しない。
本発明の効果を確認するため、以下のような実験を行なった。
試料1~3を形成するための炭化珪素からなる基板を3枚準備した。なお、当該基板の主表面は、(0001)面からのオフ角が8°となっている。そして、当該基板の主表面上に、炭化珪素のエピタキシャル層を形成した。当該エピタキシャル層の厚みは10μmとした。
実験1:
試料1および試料2について、マスク層をマスクとして用いて島状パターンの間において露出している炭化珪素層を除去するべく、熱エッチングを実施した。具体的には、酸素ガスと塩素ガスとの混合ガスを反応ガスとして用い、熱処理温度を900℃とした。また、酸素ガスの流量を1.5slm、塩素ガスの流量を1.5slmとした。また、処理時間は15分とした。
試料3について、マスク層をマスクとして用いて島状パターンの間において露出している炭化珪素を除去し溝を形成するべく、反応性イオンエッチング(RIE)を実施した。RIEのプロセス条件はパワー:800W、バイアス:10W、SF6の流量を20sccmとした。
実験1の結果:
図26および図27を参照して、実験1の結果を説明する。図26に示すように、試料1についてはマスク層17の間において炭化珪素層がエッチングにより除去され、溝がきれいに形成されていることがわかる。マスク層17の間の距離である開口部の幅Lが4μmである試料1では、熱エッチングによりマスク層17の間にて露出していた炭化珪素層がエッチングにより除去され、傾斜した側面を有する溝が形成されている。
実験2において加工された試料3については、図26に示した試料1と同様に、マスク層17の間で露出していた炭化珪素層がほぼ除去され、マスク層17の間にくまなく溝が形成されていた。このように、マスク層17の開口部の幅が2μmと比較的狭い条件であっても、本発明によれば溝を確実に形成することが可能であった。
