- the element distribution of the depth direction from the outermost surface (surface of the 2nd electrode film 3) of the surface electrode film 4 which consists of the 1st, 2nd electrode films 2 and 3 was measured by XPS method. The result is shown in FIG.
- the carbon composition (C composition) in FIG. 4 is the amount of carbon atoms deposited on the surface of the second electrode film 3 (the same applies to FIG. 5).
- the thickness of the first electrode film 2 is excessively thin (for example, about 5 nm or less), nickel atoms in the first electrode film 2 and the n-type Since the reaction with the silicon atoms in the SiC semiconductor part 1 is too small, the ohmic characteristics are adversely affected. For this reason, it is desirable that the thickness of the first electrode film 2 be about 5 nm or more and 10 nm or less that can form a good ohmic contact with the n-type SiC semiconductor portion 1.
- Example 2 a plurality of samples in which the surface electrode film 4 that forms ohmic contact with the n-type SiC semiconductor portion 1 was formed (hereinafter referred to as Example 2). And). Specifically, in Example 2, a first electrode film 2 made of nickel and having a thickness of 10 nm is formed on the n-type SiC semiconductor portion 1, and differs depending on the sample on the first electrode film 2.
- Example 2 After forming the second electrode film 3 made of nickel silicide (NiSi) in the second solid phase by thickness, heat treatment was performed.
- the conditions of the manufacturing method of Example 2 other than the thicknesses of the first and second electrode films 2 and 3 are the same as in Example 1.
- the element distribution of the depth direction from the outermost surface (surface of the 2nd electrode film 3) of the surface electrode film 4 which consists of the 1st, 2nd electrode films 2 and 3 was measured by XPS method. The results are shown in FIGS.
- the thickness of the first electrode film 2 is 10 nm, the content of carbon atoms deposited on the surface of the first electrode film 2 (the interface between the first electrode film 2 and the second electrode film 3) is 14 atm%. Yes (see FIG. 4).
- the second electrode film 3 is formed with a thickness of 80 nm or more so that the content of carbon atoms deposited on the outermost surface of the surface electrode film 4 can be 14 atm% or less, diffusion into the surface electrode film 4 is achieved. It can be seen that the deposited carbon atoms can be suppressed from being deposited on the outermost surface of the surface electrode film 4 (see FIG. 5).
- Example 3 a surface electrode film 4 formed by sequentially forming a first electrode film 2 having a thickness of 10 nm and a second electrode film 3 having a thickness of 80 nm on a 20 mm square SiC substrate (semiconductor chip) by sputtering. A sample that was formed and heat-treated was prepared (hereinafter referred to as Example 3). The manufacturing method of Example 3 is the same as that of Example 1. As a comparison, a nickel film (surface electrode film) having a thickness of 90 nm was formed and heat-treated (hereinafter referred to as Conventional Example 2).
- Example 3 and Conventional Example 2 Conditions other than the thickness of the nickel film in the manufacturing method of Conventional Example 2 are the same as in Conventional Example 1. Then, for Example 3 and Conventional Example 2, an aluminum film (wiring layer) is formed on the outermost surface of the surface electrode film with a thickness of 5 ⁇ m, and the tape attached to the aluminum film is peeled off to peel off the aluminum film. The presence or absence of was observed. As a result, in Conventional Example 2, it was confirmed that the aluminum film was almost peeled off. On the other hand, in Example 3, it was confirmed that peeling of the aluminum film did not occur. As described above, in Example 3, the surface electrode film 4 is formed by setting the thickness of the first electrode film 2 to 10 nm or less and the thickness of the second electrode film 3 to 80 nm or more. It is presumed that the carbon atoms deposited on the outermost surface can be reduced.
- the surface electrode film made of the thin first electrode film and the second electrode film made of nickel silicide is formed on the n-type SiC semiconductor portion.
- the region of the surface electrode film that is silicided by the reaction with the silicon atoms in the n-type SiC semiconductor portion can be limited to the thin first electrode film. That is, since the region that is silicided by the reaction with silicon atoms in the n-type SiC semiconductor portion can be reduced as compared with the conventional case, surplus carbon atoms generated during the heat treatment can be reduced as compared with the conventional case.
- surplus carbon atoms generated by this heat treatment can be taken into the second electrode film, and precipitation of carbon atoms on the outermost surface of the surface electrode film (the surface of the second electrode film) can be suppressed.
- the adhesiveness between the surface electrode film and the wiring layer formed on the outermost surface of the surface electrode film can be increased, and the wiring layer is less likely to be peeled off.
- the portion (first electrode film) of the surface electrode film that is in contact with the n-type SiC semiconductor portion is almost all the first. Since it is nickel silicide (Ni 2 Si) in a single solid state, the adhesion force between the surface electrode film and the n-type SiC semiconductor portion can be maintained at the same level as in the past. Thereby, it can suppress that a surface electrode film peels from an n-type SiC semiconductor part.
- the method for manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device according to the present invention is useful for silicon carbide semiconductor devices used in various industrial machines, automobiles, and the like, and in particular, provides ohmic contact with an n-type SiC semiconductor portion. It is suitable for a silicon carbide semiconductor device provided with a surface electrode film to be formed.
