[0006] Although the structure equipped with a p-type deep layer as described in Patent Document 1 is effective for preventing electric field concentration to the gate insulating film, the p-type deep layer narrows the current path and forms between two p-type deep layers adjacent to each other JFET area, resulting in increased on-resistance

Abstract

A SiC device includes an inversion type MOSFET having: a substrate, a drift layer, and a base region stacked in this order; source and contact regions in upper portions of the base region; a trench penetrating the source and base regions; a gate electrode on a gate insulating film in the trench; a source electrode coupled with the source and base region; a drain electrode on a back of the substrate; and multiple deep layers in an upper portion of the drift layer deeper than the trench. Each deep layer has an impurity concentration distribution in a depth direction, and an inversion layer is provided in a portion of the deep layer on the side of the trench under application of the gate voltage.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-27997 filed on February 11, 2011, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to a silicon carbide semiconductor device having a trench gate type MOSFET, and a method for manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device having a trench gate type MOSFET. Background technique [0004] In SiC semiconductor devices, increasing channel density is effective for supplying larger currents. Therefore, a MOSFET having a trench gate structure has been adopted and put into practical use as a silicon transistor. It goes without saying that this trench gate structure can be applied to SiC semiconductor devices. However, serious problems occur when it is applied to SiC. Specifically, SiC has a breakdown field strength ten times that of silicon, and thus a SiC semiconductor device is used wh...
