- the magnetic field generator 821 can generate a magnetic field oriented along the central axis of the cylindrical shape. As shown in FIG.
- the chamber is adjusted by adjusting the angle of the magnetic field generator 821 with respect to the stage 823 so that the direction of the central axis of the magnetic field generator 821 is the third direction in which the second portion 151 of the trench gate 150 extends.
- the magnetic field in the third direction can be generated in the inside.
- the etching ions 841 generated by the generator 810 become etching ions 843 directed in the third direction by the magnetic field in the third direction provided by the magnetic field generator 821, and are irradiated to the semiconductor substrate 830.
- the semiconductor substrate 500 can be irradiated with etching ions in the third direction.
- the magnetic field generator 821 After irradiating etching ions in the third direction, the magnetic field generator 821 is rotationally moved along the track 824.
- the magnetic field generator 821 can be rotated along the track 824 in the chamber without opening the chamber.
- the drive mechanism 850 adjusts the angle of the magnetic field generator 821 with respect to the stage 823 so that the direction of the central axis of the magnetic field generator 821 is the fourth direction in which the third portion 153 of the trench gate 150 extends. To do. Thereby, the magnetic field generator 821 can generate a magnetic field in the fourth direction in the chamber.
- the etching ions 841 generated by the generator 810 become etching ions 842 directed in the fourth direction by the magnetic field in the fourth direction provided by the magnetic field generator 821, and are irradiated to the semiconductor substrate 830.
- the semiconductor substrate 500 can be irradiated with etching ions in the fourth direction.
- gate insulating films 551b and 553b are integrally formed as one insulating film.
- a polysilicon layer 551 to be the gate electrodes 151c and 153c is formed.
- the polysilicon layer 551 is filled in the trenches 551 a and 553 a while being covered with the gate insulating films 551 b and 553 b, and a part thereof is deposited on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 500. Since the trenches 551a and 553a extend linearly from the opening on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 500 along the third direction and the fourth direction, respectively, the polysilicon layer 551 does not include voids and can be easily trenched. 551a and 553a are filled.
- the semiconductor device 10 can be formed by forming the surface insulating film 155, the surface electrode 131, the back electrode 132, and the like shown in FIG.
- each of the plurality of trench gates 150 has the first portion 152 opened on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the second portion extending from the first portion 152 in the third direction and the fourth direction, respectively.
- a portion 151 and a third portion 153 are included.
- the third direction and the fourth direction are angled with respect to the depth direction (z direction) of the semiconductor substrate 100 in the positive direction of the second direction (the positive direction of the x axis) and the negative direction (negative direction of the x axis), respectively.
- the second portion 151 of one trench gate 150 and the third portion 153 of another trench gate 150 adjacent thereto extend in a direction approaching each other along the depth direction of the semiconductor substrate 100.
- the first portion 152 extends substantially linearly along the z direction from the surface of the semiconductor substrate 100 to the inside of the body layer 107, but is not limited to such a shape. For example, it is inclined in the same manner as the second portion 151 on the positive direction side of the x axis, is inclined in the same manner as the third portion 153 on the negative direction side of the x axis, and gradually increases from the negative direction side of the z axis toward the positive direction side.
- the first portion may have a shape such that the trench width (width in the x direction) is narrow.
- the second portion 151 and the third portion 153 have substantially the same shape and size, are opposite to each other with respect to the yz plane passing through the center position of the trench gate 150 in the x direction, and have the same inclination angle. It extends in the direction of forming. Since the second portion 151 and the third portion 153 branched from the first portion 152 make a pair and are symmetrical with respect to the yz plane, the current path when the semiconductor device 10 is on is also the same as the second portion 151 side. The third portion 153 side has substantially the same length, and there is no variation in the current path.
- the trench gate 150 when the trench gate 150 is branched into three and further includes a central portion extending along the negative direction of the z-axis between the second portion 151 and the third portion 153, The length of the current path is different from the length of the current path of the second portion 151 and the third portion 153. If there is variation in the current path, a large current flows in a path through which current more easily flows, which may cause element destruction. Since the semiconductor device 10 does not vary in the current path, element destruction is unlikely to occur.
- the body layer 107 exists below the connection position between the first portion 152, the second portion 151, and the third portion 153. For this reason, when the semiconductor device 10 is turned off, the carrier below the connection position with the second portion 151 and the third portion 153 is quickly discharged. As a result, the on-voltage when the semiconductor device 10 is turned on again is stabilized.
- each of the second portion 151 and the third portion 153 has a shape extending linearly along one direction like the trench gate 750 extending in the depth direction of the semiconductor substrate 700 like the conventional semiconductor device 700. It can be. For this reason, the manufacturing process is simple, and the gate electrodes 151c and 151c can be filled in the trenches 151a and 153a without including a gap.
- the direction of the magnetic field generated by the movable magnetic field generator 821 can be easily adjusted, and the irradiation angle of etching ions can be easily adjusted. Therefore, in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device 10, the trenches 551a and 553a extending in the third direction and the fourth direction can be easily formed in the semiconductor substrate 500.
