Abstract

A SiC semiconductor device includes a reverse type MOSFET having: a substrate 1; a drift layer 2 and a base region 3 on the substrate; a base contact layer 5 and a source region 4 on the base region; multiple trenches 6 having a longitudinal direction in a first direction penetrating the source region and the base region; a gate electrode 9 in each trench via a gate insulation film 8; an interlayer insulation film 12 covering the gate electrode and having a contact hole 12a, through which the source region and the base contact layer are exposed; a source electrode 11 coupling with the source region and the base region through the contact hole 12a; a drain electrode 13 on the substrate. The source region and the base contact layer extend along with a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and are alternately arranged along with the first direction. The contact hole has a longitudinal direction in the first direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to SiC semiconductor devices including MOSFETs. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, Japanese Patent No. 3489358 teaches a SiC (ie, silicon carbide) semiconductor device having a vertical MOSFET as a vertical insulated gate type transistor. As shown in Figure 9A, in this device, the P coupled to the base region of P conductivity type + The longitudinal direction of the contact zone J2 of conductivity type is related to N + The longitudinal directions of the source region J1 of conductivity type and the base region of P conductivity type are parallel to the longitudinal direction of the trench J3, which provides a trench gate structure. The contact hole J4 formed in the interlayer insulating film is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the trench J3. N + conductivity type source regions J1 and P + A type of contact region J2 is electrically coupled with the source electrode through the contact hole. [0...
