Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, when the warpage of the silicon carbide substrate is large, it is not possible to sufficiently reduce the warpage using a fixing method such as the vacuum chuck described above.
Therefore, on the downside, exposure failures occur

[0060] First, refer to figure 1 with figure 2 One embodiment of the present invention, ie, the first embodiment, is described. figure 1 corresponds to along figure 2 The cross-sectional view taken along the line I-I. refer to figure 1 with figure 2 , the silicon carbide substrate 1 in this embodiment includes: a foundation layer 10 made of silicon carbide; and a plurality of SiC layers 20 arranged side by side on the foundation layer 10 when viewed in plan view and composed of made of crystalline silicon carbide. In other words, a plurality of SiC layers 20 are arranged along main surface 10A of base layer 10 . A gap 60 is formed between end surfaces 20B of adjacent SiC layers 20 .

[0061] In silicon carbide substrate 1 of the present embodiment, gap 60 is thus formed between SiC layers 20 . Therefore, even when different types of material layers are formed on the SiC layer 20, the gap 60 provides a buffer effect to reduce warpage. As a result, silicon carbide sub...

[0089] Still another embodiment of the present invention, that is, the third embodiment is described below. refer to Figure 8 , silicon carbide substrate 1 in the third embodiment has substantially the same configuration as silicon carbide substrate 1 in the first embodiment and provides substantially the same effects. However, silicon carbide substrate 1 in the third embodiment differs from silicon carbide substrate 1 in the first embodiment in that an amorphous substrate serving as an intermediate layer is provided between base layer 10 and each SiC layer 20 . SiC layer 40 .

[0090] That is, in silicon carbide substrate 1 in the third embodiment, amorphous SiC layer 40 is provided between foundation layer 10 and SiC layer 20 as an intermediate layer made of amorphous SiC. Then, base layer 10 and SiC layer 20 are connected to each other through this amorphous SiC layer 40 . Amorphous SiC layer 40 thus present easily provides silicon carbide substrate 1 in which base laye...

Abstract

Disclosed is a silicon carbide substrate (1) that can be prevented from warping even in cases where a different material layer, which is formed from a material other than silicon carbide, is formed thereon. The silicon carbide substrate (1) comprises a base layer (10) that is formed from silicon carbide, and a plurality of SiC layers (20) that are formed from single crystal silicon carbide and aligned on the base layer (10) when viewed in plan. A gap (60) is provided between the end faces (20B) of SiC layers (20) that are adjacent to each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a silicon carbide substrate, and more particularly, to a silicon carbide substrate achieving suppression of warpage occurring in a process of manufacturing a semiconductor device. Background technique [0002] In recent years, silicon carbide (SiC) has been adopted as a material for semiconductor devices in order to achieve high breakdown voltage, low loss, and utilization of semiconductor devices in high-temperature environments. Silicon carbide is a wide bandgap semiconductor having a bandgap larger than that of silicon conventionally widely used as a material for semiconductor devices. Therefore, by employing silicon carbide as a material for a semiconductor device, the semiconductor device can have a high breakdown voltage, reduced on-resistance, and the like. Furthermore, it is therefore advantageous that the characteristics of a semiconductor device using silicon carbide as its material deteriorate less even in a...
