図1は、本実施の形態1に係る半導体装置の構成を示す平面模式図であり、図2は、図1のX-X線に沿った断面模式図である。以下、実施の形態1に係る半導体装置は、炭化珪素(SiC)を含むトレンチ型のMOSFETであるものとして説明する。
図2に示すように、本実施の形態1に係るMOSFETは、n型のSiC基板1と、その上に成長させたn型のSiCエピタキシャル層(半導体層)とを含むエピタキシャル基板を備える。メインセル領域のエピタキシャル層の上部には、p型のボディ領域であるベース領域3と、n型のソース領域4と、p型のウェルコンタクト層11とが設けられる。ドリフト層2は、エピタキシャル基板のうちベース領域3下のn型領域であり、SiC基板1及びエピタキシャル層の少なくともいずれかに含まれる。以上のように、メインセル領域は、SiC基板1と、ドリフト層2と、ベース領域3と、ソース領域4と、ウェルコンタクト層11とを備える。
センスセル領域は、メインセル領域と同様の構成を有しており、メインセル領域と同一の半導体チップに設けられている。センスセル領域は、SiC基板1と、ドリフト層2と、ベース領域3と、ソース領域4と、底部保護層5と、ゲート酸化膜6と、トレンチ7と、ポリシリコン電極8と、側壁接続層9と、層間酸化膜10と、ウェルコンタクト層11と、ドレイン電極14とを備える。
メインセル領域に隣接する周辺領域Aは、SiC基板1と、ドリフト層2と、第2底部保護層である底部保護層5aと、ゲート酸化膜6と、第2トレンチであるトレンチ7aと、容量電極8aと、層間酸化膜10と、フィールド絶縁膜12と、ドレイン電極14とを備える。周辺領域Aの幅は、例えば5μm~100μmである。
センスセル領域に隣接する周辺領域Bは、周辺領域Aと同様の構成を有する。具体的には、周辺領域Bは、SiC基板1と、ドリフト層2と、第3底部保護層である底部保護層5bと、ゲート酸化膜6と、第3トレンチであるトレンチ7bと、容量電極8bと、層間酸化膜10と、フィールド絶縁膜12と、ドレイン電極14とを備える。周辺領域Bの幅は、例えば5μm~100μmである。
