Description

[Technical Field] 【0001】 This invention relates to a semiconductor device. [Background technology] 【0002】 Patent Document 1 (Figure 4) discloses a semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor substrate, an aluminum film (electrode), a polyimide film (organic insulating layer), and a Ni plating film (Ni plating layer). The aluminum film is formed on the semiconductor substrate. The polyimide film is formed on the aluminum film and has an opening that exposes the aluminum film. The Ni plating film is formed on the aluminum film exposed through the opening in the polyimide film. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents] 【0003】 [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2018 / 167925A1 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve] 【0004】 Organic insulating layers have poor adhesion to nickel. Therefore, when a metal layer is formed on an electrode exposed through an opening in the organic insulating layer, the metal layer forms a gap extending toward the electrode between itself and the organic insulating layer. As a result, the connection of the metal layer to the electrode becomes insufficient, reducing the reliability of the metal layer. 【0005】 One embodiment of the present invention provides a semiconductor device in which the reliability of a metal layer can be improved in a structure in which a metal layer is formed on an electrode exposed from an opening in an organic insulating layer. [Means for solving the problem] 【0006】 One embodiment of the present invention provides a semiconductor device including a chip, an electrode formed on the chip, an inorganic insulating layer covering the electrode and having a first opening exposing the electrode, an organic insulating layer covering the inorganic insulating layer and having a second opening spaced from the first opening and surrounding the first opening, the organic insulating layer exposing an inner peripheral edge of the inorganic insulating layer in a region between the first opening and the second opening, and a Ni plating layer covering the electrode in the first opening and covering the inner peripheral edge of the inorganic insulating layer in the second opening. 【0007】 According to this semiconductor device, the Ni plating layer covers the inner peripheral edge of the inorganic insulating layer, which has a higher adhesion to Ni compared to the organic insulating layer. Thereby, the gap formation region can be moved away from the electrode, and at the same time, the formation of a gap extending toward the electrode can be suppressed. Compared with a structure in which the inner peripheral edge of the inorganic insulating layer is not exposed, the gap formation region between the organic insulating layer can be reduced. Therefore, the reliability of the Ni plating layer can be improved. 【0008】 One embodiment of the present invention provides a semiconductor device including a chip, an electrode formed on the chip, an inorganic insulating layer covering the electrode and having a first opening exposing the electrode, an organic insulating layer covering the inorganic insulating layer and having a second opening spaced from the first opening and surrounding the first opening, the organic insulating layer exposing an inner peripheral edge of the inorganic insulating layer in a region between the first opening and the second opening, and a metal layer covering the electrode in the first opening and covering the inner peripheral edge of the inorganic insulating layer in the second opening. 【0009】 According to this semiconductor device, the metal layer covers the inner peripheral edge of the inorganic insulating layer, which has a higher adhesion to the metal layer compared to the organic insulating layer. Thereby, the gap formation region can be moved away from the electrode, and at the same time, the formation of a gap extending toward the electrode can be suppressed. Compared with a structure in which the inner peripheral edge of the inorganic insulating layer is not exposed, the gap formation region between the organic insulating layer can be reduced. Therefore, the reliability of the metal layer can be improved. 【0010】 The above-mentioned, or further other objects, features, and effects of the present invention will be clarified by the description of the embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 【Brief Description of the Drawings】 【0011】 [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a semiconductor device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

The angle corresponding to the off-angle may be equal to the off-angle, or it may be an angle greater than 0° and less than the off-angle. 【0021】 The third side surface 5C and the fourth side surface 5D are formed by the m-plane of the SiC single crystal. The third side surface 5C and the fourth side surface 5D extend planar along the normal direction Z. Specifically, the third side surface 5C and the fourth side surface 5D are formed substantially perpendicular to the first main surface 3 and the second main surface 4. 【0022】 The side surfaces 5A to 5D may be composed of cleavage surfaces or grinding surfaces. The length of the side surfaces 5A to 5D may be 0.1 mm or more and 10 mm or less. The length of the side surfaces 5A to 5D is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less. 【0023】 In this form, the SiC chip 2 has a laminated structure including an n + -type SiC substrate 6 and an n-type SiC epitaxial layer 7. The second main surface 4 of the SiC chip 2 and a part of the side surfaces 5A to 5D are formed by the SiC substrate 6. The first main surface 3 of the SiC chip 2 and a part of the side surfaces 5A to 5D are formed by the SiC epitaxial layer 7. 【0024】 The n-type impurity concentration of the SiC epitaxial layer 7 is less than the n-type impurity concentration of the SiC substrate 6. The n-type impurity concentration of the SiC substrate 6 may be 1.0×10 18 cm -3 or more and 1.0×10 21 cm -3 or less. The n-type impurity concentration of the SiC epitaxial layer 7 may be 1.0×10 15 cm -3 or more and 1.0×10 18 cm -3 or less. 【0025】 The thickness of the SiC substrate 6 may be 40 μm or more and 250 μm or less.

The thickness of the SiC substrate 6 is preferably 40 μm or more and 150 μm or less. By thinning the SiC substrate 6, the resistance value of the SiC substrate 6 can be reduced. 【0026】 The thickness of the SiC epitaxial layer 7 may be 1 μm or more and 50 μm or less.

Preferably, the thickness of the SiC epitaxial layer 7 is 5 μm or more and 15 μm or less. 【0027】 The SiC chip 2 includes an active region 8 and an outer region 9. The active region 8 is a region containing an SBD (Schottky Barrier Diode) as an example of a functional device (diode). In a plan view, the active region 8 is formed in the central part of the SiC chip 2, spaced inward from the sides 5A to 5D. In a plan view, the active region 8 is formed in a rectangular shape with four sides parallel to the sides 5A to 5D. 【0028】 The outer region 9 is the region outside the active region 8. The outer region 9 is formed in the region between the sides 5A to 5D and the active region 8. In a plan view, the outer region 9 is formed in an annular shape (specifically, an endless shape) surrounding the active region 8. 【0029】 The semiconductor device 1 includes an n-type diode region 10 formed on the surface layer of the first main surface 3 in the active region 8. The diode region 10 is formed in the central part of the first main surface 3. The planar shape of the diode region 10 is arbitrary. The diode region 10 may be formed in a rectangular shape with four sides parallel to the sides 5A to 5D in a plan view. 【0030】 In this embodiment, the diode region 10 is formed using a portion of the SiC epitaxial layer 7. The n-type impurity concentration in the diode region 10 is equal to the n-type impurity concentration in the SiC epitaxial layer 7. The n-type impurity concentration in the diode region 10 may exceed the n-type impurity concentration in the SiC epitaxial layer 7. In this case, the diode region 10 is formed by introducing n-type impurities into the surface layer of the SiC epitaxial layer 7. 【0031】 In the outer region 9, a guard region 11 containing p-type impurities is formed on the surface layer of the first main surface 3. The p-type impurities in the guard region 11 may or may not be activated. The guard region 11 is formed in a band shape extending along the diode region 10 in a plan view. Specifically, the guard region 11 is formed in an annular shape (specifically, endlessly) surrounding the diode region 10 in a plan view. 【0032】 As a result, the guard region 11 is formed as a guard ring region. The guard region 11 defines the active region 8 (diode region 10). The planar shape of the active region 8 (diode region 10) is adjusted by the planar shape of the guard region 11. The guard region 11 may be formed as a polygonal ring or a ring in plan view. 【0033】 The semiconductor device 1 includes a main surface insulating layer 12 formed on a first main surface 3. The main surface insulating layer 12 may have a laminated structure including a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer. The main surface insulating layer 12 may have a single-layer structure consisting of a silicon oxide layer or a silicon nitride layer. In this embodiment, the main surface insulating layer 12 has a single-layer structure consisting of a silicon oxide layer. 【0034】 The main surface insulating layer 12 has a contact opening 13 that exposes the diode region 10. The contact opening 13 also exposes the inner peripheral edge of the guard region 11. The planar shape of the contact opening 13 is arbitrary. The contact opening 13 may be divided into a rectangular shape with four sides parallel to the sides 5A to 5D in a plan view. 【0035】 The periphery of the main surface insulating layer 12 is exposed from the sides 5A to 5D. In this configuration, the periphery of the main surface insulating layer 12 is continuous with the sides 5A to 5D. The periphery of the main surface insulating layer 12 may be formed with a gap inward from the sides 5A to 5D. In this case, the main surface insulating layer 12 exposes the portion located in the outer region 9 on the first main surface 3. 【0036】 The thickness of the main surface insulating layer 12 may be 0.1 μm or more and 10 μm or less. The thickness of the main surface insulating layer 12 may be 0.1 μm or more and 1 μm or less, 1 μm or more and 2 μm or less, 2 μm or more and 4 μm or less, 4 μm or more and 6 μm or less, 6 μm or more and 8 μm or less, or 8 μm or more and 10 μm or less. Preferably, the thickness of the main surface insulating layer 12 is 0.5 μm or more and 5 μm or less. 【0037】 The semiconductor device 1 includes a first main surface electrode 21 (electrode) formed on a first main surface 3. The first main surface electrode 21 is connected to a diode region 10 and a guard region 11 within a contact opening 13. The first main surface electrode 21 extends from the contact opening 13 onto the main surface insulating layer 12. The periphery of the first main surface electrode 21 is formed on the main surface insulating layer 12 with a gap inward from the sides 5A to 5D. As a result, the first main surface electrode 21 exposes the periphery of the main surface insulating layer 12. 【0038】 The thickness T1 of the first main surface electrode 21 may be 10 μm or more and 100 μm or less. The thickness T1 may be 10 μm or more and 20 μm or less, 20 μm or more and 40 μm or less, 40 μm or more and 60 μm or less, 60 μm or more and 80 μm or less, or 80 μm or more and 100 μm or less. It is preferable that the thickness T1 is 20 μm or more and 60 μm or less. 【0039】 Specifically, the first main surface electrode 21 has a laminated structure including a barrier electrode 22 and a main electrode 23 stacked in this order from the first main surface 3 side. The barrier electrode 22 is formed in a film-like manner along the first main surface 3 and the main surface insulating layer 12. The barrier electrode 22 forms a Schottky junction with the diode region 10. This forms an SBD having the first main surface electrode 21 as the anode and the diode region 10 as the cathode. In other words, the first main surface electrode 21 is the anode electrode of the SBD. 【0040】 The barrier electrode 22 may include at least one of the following layers: Ti layer, Pd layer, Cr layer, V layer, Mo layer, W layer, Pt layer, and Ni layer. The thickness of the barrier electrode 22 may be 0.01 μm or more and 1 μm or less. The thickness of the barrier electrode 22 may be 0.01 μm or more and 0.1 μm or less, 0.1 μm or more and 0.2 μm or less, 0.2 μm or more and 0.4 μm or less, 0.4 μm or more and 0.6 μm or less, 0.6 μm or more and 0.8 μm or less, or 0.8 μm or more and 1 μm or less. 【0041】 The main electrode 23 is formed as a film on the barrier electrode 22. The main electrode 23 covers the entire main surface of the barrier electrode 22. The main electrode 23 consists of an Al-based metal layer. Specifically, the main electrode 23 includes at least one of the following: a pure Al layer (an Al layer with a purity of 99% or more), an AlSi alloy layer, an AlCu alloy layer, and an AlSiCu alloy layer. 【0042】 The main electrode 23 may have a laminated structure in which two or more of the following are stacked in any order: a pure Al layer, an AlSi alloy layer, an AlCu alloy layer, and an AlSiCu alloy layer. The main electrode 23 may have a single-layer structure consisting of a pure Al layer, an AlSi alloy layer, an AlCu alloy layer, or an AlSiCu alloy layer. It is preferable that the main electrode 23 has a single-layer structure consisting of an AlSi alloy layer, an AlCu alloy layer, or an AlSiCu alloy layer. 【0043】 The thickness of the main electrode 23 exceeds the thickness of the barrier electrode 22. The thickness of the main electrode 23 may be 10 μm or more and 100 μm or less. The thickness of the main electrode 23 may be 10 μm or more and 20 μm or less, 20 μm or more and 40 μm or less, 40 μm or more and 60 μm or less, 60 μm or more and 80 μm or less, or 80 μm or more and 100 μm or less. Preferably, the thickness of the main electrode 23 is 20 μm or more and 60 μm or less. Since the thickness of the barrier electrode 22 is extremely small compared to the thickness of the main electrode 23, the thickness T1 of the first main surface electrode 21 is approximated by the thickness of the main electrode 23. 【0044】 The semiconductor device 1 includes an insulating layer 24 that covers the first main surface electrode 21 on the first main surface 3. In Figure 1, the insulating layer 24 is shown by hatching. Specifically, the insulating layer 24 is formed on the main surface insulating layer 12. The periphery of the insulating layer 24 is formed with a gap inward from the sides 5A to 5D. As a result, the insulating layer 24 exposes the periphery of the main surface insulating layer 12. 【0045】 The periphery of the insulating layer 24 is divided into a dicing street 25 between it and sides 5A to 5D. The dicing street 25 prevents the insulating layer 24 from being physically cut when cutting the semiconductor device 1 from the wafer. This allows for smooth cutting of the semiconductor device 1 from the wafer while simultaneously suppressing peeling and degradation of the insulating layer 24. As a result, the insulating layer 24 can properly protect objects to be protected, such as the SiC chip 2 and the first main surface electrode 21. 【0046】 The width of the dicing street 25 may be 1 μm or more and 25 μm or less. The width of the dicing street 25 is the width in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the dicing street 25 extends. The width of the dicing street 25 may be 1 μm or more and 5 μm or less, 5 μm or more and 10 μm or less, 10 μm or more and 15 μm or less, 15 μm or more and 20 μm or less, or 20 μm or more and 25 μm or less. 【0047】 The insulating layer 24 has a pad opening 26 that exposes the first main surface electrode 21. The pad opening 26 exposes the first main surface electrode 21 within the region surrounded by the contact opening 13 in a plan view. The pad opening 26 may surround the contact opening 13 in a region outside the contact opening 13 in a plan view. The planar shape of the pad opening 26 is arbitrary. The pad opening 26 may be formed in a rectangular shape with four sides parallel to the sides 5A to 5D in a plan view. 【0048】 Specifically, the insulating layer 24 has a laminated structure including an inorganic insulating layer 30 and an organic insulating layer 31, which are stacked in this order from the SiC chip 2 side. The inorganic insulating layer 30 is formed in a film-like manner along the main surface insulating layer 12 and the first main surface electrode 21. The inorganic insulating layer 30 includes a first inner wall 32 and a first outer wall 33. The first inner wall 32 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 defines a first opening 34 that exposes a portion of the first main surface electrode 21. The first opening 34 forms a portion of the pad opening 26. 【0049】 The first opening 34 is located within the region surrounded by the contact opening 13 in a plan view.

After the grinding process of the second wafer main surface 54, annealing may be performed on the second wafer main surface 54. The annealing may be performed by laser irradiation. As a result, the second wafer main surface 54 (second main surface 4) becomes an ohmic surface. 【0113】 Next, referring to Figure 5O, a second main surface electrode 46 is formed on the second wafer main surface 54. The second main surface electrode 46 may be formed by sputtering, vapor deposition, and / or plating. Subsequently, the SiC epitaxial wafer 50 is cut or cleaved along the dicing street 25 to cut out a plurality of semiconductor devices 1. The semiconductor device 1 is manufactured through the process including the above. 【0114】 As described above, the semiconductor device 1 includes a SiC chip 2, a first main surface electrode 21, an inorganic insulating layer 30, an organic insulating layer 31, and a Ni plating layer 41. The first main surface electrode 21 is formed on the SiC chip 2. The inorganic insulating layer 30 covers the first main surface electrode 21 and has a first opening 34 that exposes the first main surface electrode 21. The organic insulating layer 31 covers the inorganic insulating layer 30 and has a second opening 37 that surrounds the first opening 34 at a distance from the first opening 34, exposing the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 in the region between the first opening 34 and the second opening 37. The Ni plating layer 41 is connected to the first main surface electrode 21 within the first opening 34 and covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 within the second opening 37. 【0115】 The inorganic insulating layer 30 has high adhesion to Ni, while the organic insulating layer 31 has lower adhesion to Ni compared to the inorganic insulating layer 30. Therefore, for example, if the inorganic insulating layer 30 is absent, or if the organic insulating layer 31 is formed flush with the inorganic insulating layer 30, the Ni plating layer 41 forms a gap between itself and the organic insulating layer 31 that extends toward the first main surface electrode 21. As a result, the connection of the Ni plating layer 41 to the first main surface electrode 21 becomes insufficient, and the reliability of the Ni plating layer 41 decreases. 【0116】 Therefore, the semiconductor device 1 employs a structure in which an organic insulating layer 31 is formed that exposes the inner peripheral edge 38 of an inorganic insulating layer 30 having high adhesion to Ni, and a Ni plating layer 41 covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30. In this case, the Ni plating layer 41 forms a first connection portion extending in the thickness direction of the inorganic insulating layer 30 and a second connection portion extending in the width direction of the inorganic insulating layer 30 between itself and the inorganic insulating layer 30. 【0117】 This allows the gap formation region to be moved away from the first main surface electrode 21, while simultaneously effectively suppressing the formation of gaps extending toward the first main surface electrode 21. Furthermore, compared to the case where the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 is absent, the gap formation region between it and the organic insulating layer 31 can be reduced. Thus, the reliability of the Ni plating layer 41 can be improved. 【0118】 In semiconductor device 1, the second portion 41B of the Ni plating layer 41 covers the region on the inorganic insulating layer 30 side of the intermediate portion of the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. In other words, the second portion 41B of the Ni plating layer 41 covers the organic insulating layer 31 such that the concealed area of ​​the second inner wall 35 (organic insulating layer 31) is less than the exposed area of ​​the second inner wall 35 (organic insulating layer 31). With such a Ni plating layer 41, the area where gaps are formed can be appropriately reduced. 【0119】 The semiconductor device 1 further includes an outer plating layer 42 that covers the outer surface of the Ni plating layer 41. With this structure, the formation of a gap between the organic insulating layer 31 and the Ni plating layer 41 is suppressed, so that the entry of the plating solution into the gap can be suppressed. This suppresses abnormal film formation of the outer plating layer 42 starting from the gap. As a result, poor connection of the Ni plating layer 41 caused by abnormal film formation of the outer plating layer 42 can be suppressed, and at the same time, peeling (poor connection) of the outer plating layer 42 can be suppressed. 【0120】 The outer plating layer 42 specifically includes at least one of the Pd plating layer 43, the Au plating layer 44, and the Ag plating layer 45. Therefore, poor connectivity of the Ni plating layer 41 caused by abnormal film formation of the Pd plating layer 43, the Au plating layer 44, and the Ag plating layer 45 can be suppressed. At the same time, peeling (poor connectivity) of the Pd plating layer 43, the Au plating layer 44, and the Ag plating layer 45 can be suppressed. 【0121】 Figure 6 is a corresponding diagram to Figure 2, and is a cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor device 61 according to a second embodiment of the present invention together with the outer plating layer 42 according to the first embodiment. Figure 7 is an enlarged view of region VII shown in Figure 6. Hereinafter, structures corresponding to the structures described for the semiconductor device 1 will be given the same reference numerals and their descriptions will be omitted. 【0122】 Referring to Figures 6 and 7, the organic insulating layer 31 exposes the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 in the region between the first opening 34 and the second opening 37. The width W of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 is arbitrary, but it is preferable that it exceeds the thickness T2 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 (T2 <W)。 【0123】 The ratio W / T2 of the width W of the inner edge 38 to the thickness T2 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 may be greater than 1 and less than or equal to 10. The ratio W / T2 may be greater than 1 and less than or equal to 2, 2 to 4, 4 to 6, 6 to 8, or 8 to 10. Preferably, the ratio W / T2 is 2 to 5. The width W may be greater than 0 μm and less than or equal to 10 μm. The width W may be greater than 0 μm and less than or equal to 2 μm, 2 μm to 4 μm, 4 μm to 6 μm, 6 μm to 8 μm, or 8 μm to 10 μm. 【0124】 The Ni plating layer 41 is formed on the first main surface electrode 21 within the pad opening 26. The Ni plating layer 41 covers the first main surface electrode 21 within the first opening 34 and covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 within the second opening 37. The Ni plating layer 41 has an outer surface formed at a distance from the main surface of the organic insulating layer 31 (insulating layer 24) toward the first main surface electrode 21. The Ni plating layer 41 covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 at a distance from the organic insulating layer 31 within the second opening 37. 【0125】 The Ni plating layer 41 specifically has a first portion 41A that covers the first main surface electrode 21, and a second portion 41B that covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30. The first portion 41A of the Ni plating layer 41 covers the first main surface electrode 21 by filling the rough surface region 39 within the first opening 34. The first portion 41A covers the entire area of ​​the first inner wall 32 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 within the first opening 34 and protrudes from the opening end of the first opening 34 toward the opening end of the second opening 37. The first portion 41A has a first connecting portion that is connected to the first inner wall 32 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 and extends in the thickness direction of the inorganic insulating layer 30. 【0126】 The second portion 41B of the Ni plating layer 41 is drawn out from the first portion 41A toward the organic insulating layer 31 within the second opening 37. The second portion 41B is formed in an arc shape, starting from the opening end of the first opening 34 and extending toward the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. 【0127】 The second part 41B covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 within the second opening 37. In this form, the second part 41B partially covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 at an interval from the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 to the first inner wall 32 side of the inorganic insulating layer 30 within the second opening 37 such that a part of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 is exposed. 【0128】 Thereby, the Ni plating layer 41 exposes a part of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 and the entire second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. The second part 41B faces the first main surface electrode 21 across the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30. The second part 41B is connected to the main surface of the inorganic insulating layer 30 and has a second connection portion extending in the width direction of the inorganic insulating layer 30. 【0129】 The Ni plating layer 41 has a thickness T4 (T2 < T4) exceeding the thickness T2 of the inorganic insulating layer 30. The thickness T4 is less than the thickness T3 of the organic insulating layer 31 (T4 < T3). The thickness T4 is less than the value (T2 + W) obtained by adding the width W of the inner peripheral edge 38 to the thickness T2 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 (T4 < T2 + W). This is the condition for the Ni plating layer 41 to expose the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. The thickness T4 is defined by the thickness of the Ni plating layer 41 with reference to the main surface of the first main surface electrode 21. 【0130】 The ratio T4 / T2 of the thickness T4 of the Ni plating layer 41 to the thickness T2 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 may be greater than 1 and less than or equal to 5. The ratio T4 / T2 may be greater than 1 and less than or equal to 2, greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 3, greater than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 4, or greater than or equal to 4 and less than or equal to 5. The thickness T4 may be greater than or equal to 0.1 μm and less than or equal to 10 μm. The thickness T4 may be greater than or equal to 0.1 μm and less than or equal to 1 μm, greater than or equal to 1 μm and less than or equal to 2 μm, greater than or equal to 2 μm and less than or equal to 4 μm, greater than or equal to 4 μm and less than or equal to 6 μm, greater than or equal to 6 μm and less than or equal to 8 μm, or greater than or equal to 8 μm and less than or equal to 10 μm. 【0131】 The outer plating layer 42 covers the outer surface of the Ni plating layer 41 within the second opening 37. The outer plating layer 42 has a thickness T5 (T5 < T4) less than the thickness T4 of the Ni plating layer 41. In this form, the outer plating layer 42 partially covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 at an interval from the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 toward the first inner wall 32 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 within the second opening 37. 【0132】 The outer plating layer 42 has a terminal surface 42A that is externally connected via a conductive bonding material (e.g., solder). The terminal surface 42A is located on the Ni plating layer 41 side with respect to the main surface of the organic insulating layer 31 (the opening end of the second opening 37). Thereby, the outer plating layer 42 exposes a part of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 and the entire second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 within the second opening 37. 【0133】 Specifically, the outer plating layer 42 has a laminated structure including a Pd plating layer 43 and an Au plating layer 44 laminated in this order from the Ni plating layer 41 side. The Pd plating layer 43 is formed in a film shape along the outer surface of the Ni plating layer 41. The Pd plating layer 43 covers the Ni plating layer 41 at an interval from the opening end of the second opening 37 toward the inorganic insulating layer 30 side. The Pd plating layer 43 partially covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 at an interval from the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 toward the first inner wall 32 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 within the second opening 37 so that a part of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 is exposed. Thereby, the Pd plating layer 43 exposes a part of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 and the entire second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 within the second opening 37. 【0134】 The Pd plating layer 43 has a thickness less than the thickness T4 of the Ni plating layer 41. The thickness of the Pd plating layer 43 may be 0.01 μm or more and 1 μm or less. The thickness of the Pd plating layer 43 may be 0.01 μm or more and 0.1 μm or less, 0.1 μm or more and 0.2 μm or less, 0.2 μm or more and 0.4 μm or less, 0.4 μm or more and 0.6 μm or less, 0.6 μm or more and 0.8 μm or less, or 0.8 μm or more and 1 μm or less. 【0135】 The Au plating layer 44 is formed in a film-like manner along the outer surface of the Pd plating layer 43. The Au plating layer 44 covers the Pd plating layer 43 with a gap from the opening end of the second opening 37 toward the inorganic insulating layer 30. Within the second opening 37, the Au plating layer 44 partially covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 with a gap from the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 toward the first inner wall 32 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, so that a part of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 is exposed. As a result, within the second opening 37, the Au plating layer 44 exposes a part of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 and the entire second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. 【0136】 The Au plating layer 44 has a thickness less than the thickness T4 of the Ni plating layer 41. The thickness of the Au plating layer 44 may be 0.01 μm or more and 1 μm or less. The thickness of the Au plating layer 44 may be 0.01 μm or more and 0.1 μm or less, 0.1 μm or more and 0.2 μm or less, 0.2 μm or more and 0.4 μm or less, 0.4 μm or more and 0.6 μm or less, 0.6 μm or more and 0.8 μm or less, or 0.8 μm or more and 1 μm or less. 【0137】 In this embodiment, an example was described in which an outer plating layer 42 is formed that exposes the entire second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. However, an outer plating layer 42 that covers only a portion of the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 may also be used. In this case, at least one of the Pd plating layer 43 and the Au plating layer 44 may cover a portion of the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. The outer plating layer 42 can take various forms as shown in Figures 8A to 8D. 【0138】 Figure 8A is a corresponding diagram to Figure 7 and is an enlarged view showing the outer plating layer 42 according to the second embodiment. The differences from the outer plating layer 42 according to the first embodiment will be explained below. 【0139】 Referring to Figure 8A, in this embodiment, the outer plating layer 42 has a single-layer structure consisting of an Au plating layer 44. The Au plating layer 44 is formed in a film-like manner along the outer surface of the Ni plating layer 41. Within the second opening 37, the Au plating layer 44 partially covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, leaving a gap between the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 and the first inner wall 32 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, such that a portion of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 is exposed. 【0140】 The Au plating layer 44 covers the Ni plating layer 41 with a gap from the opening end of the second opening 37 toward the inorganic insulating layer 30. As a result, the Au plating layer 44 exposes a portion of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 and the entire second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 within the second opening 37. The Au plating layer 44 may also cover a portion of the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. 【0141】 Figure 8B is a corresponding diagram to Figure 7 and is an enlarged view showing the outer plating layer 42 according to the third embodiment.

The Pd plating layer 43 may also cover a portion of the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. 【0144】 Figure 8C is a corresponding diagram to Figure 7 and is an enlarged view showing the outer plating layer 42 according to the fourth embodiment. The differences from the outer plating layer 42 according to the first embodiment will be explained below. 【0145】 Referring to Figure 8C, in this embodiment, the outer plating layer 42 has a single-layer structure consisting of an Ag plating layer 45. The Ag plating layer 45 is formed in a film-like manner along the outer surface of the Ni plating layer 41. Within the second opening 37, the Ag plating layer 45 partially covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, leaving a gap between the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 and the first inner wall 32 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, such that a portion of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 is exposed. 【0146】 The Ag plating layer 45 covers the Ni plating layer 41 with a gap from the opening end of the second opening 37 toward the inorganic insulating layer 30. As a result, the Ag plating layer 45 exposes a portion of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 and the entire second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 within the second opening 37. The Ag plating layer 45 may also cover a portion of the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. 【0147】 The Ag plating layer 45 has a thickness less than the thickness T4 of the Ni plating layer 41. The thickness of the Ag plating layer 45 may be 0.01 μm or more and 1 μm or less. The thickness of the Ag plating layer 45 may be 0.01 μm or more and 0.1 μm or less, 0.1 μm or more and 0.2 μm or less, 0.2 μm or more and 0.4 μm or less, 0.4 μm or more and 0.6 μm or less, 0.6 μm or more and 0.8 μm or less, or 0.8 μm or more and 1 μm or less. 【0148】 Figure 8D is a corresponding diagram to Figure 7 and is an enlarged view showing the outer plating layer 42 according to the fifth embodiment. The differences from the outer plating layer 42 according to the first embodiment will be explained below. 【0149】 Referring to Figure 8D, the outer plating layer 42 has a laminated structure including a Pd plating layer 43, an Au plating layer 44, and an Ag plating layer 45, which are stacked in this order from the Ni plating layer 41 side. 【0150】 The Pd plating layer 43 is formed in a film-like manner along the outer surface of the Ni plating layer 41. Within the second opening 37, the Pd plating layer 43 partially covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, leaving a gap between the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 and the first inner wall 32 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, such that a portion of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 is exposed. The Pd plating layer 43 covers the Ni plating layer 41, leaving a gap between the opening end of the second opening 37 and the inorganic insulating layer 30. As a result, within the second opening 37, the Pd plating layer 43 exposes a portion of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 and the entire second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. 【0151】 The Au plating layer 44 is formed in a film-like manner along the outer surface of the Pd plating layer 43. Within the second opening 37, the Au plating layer 44 partially covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, leaving a gap between the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 and the first inner wall 32 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, so that a portion of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 is exposed. The Au plating layer 44 covers the Pd plating layer 43, leaving a gap between the opening end of the second opening 37 and the inorganic insulating layer 30. As a result, within the second opening 37, the Au plating layer 44 exposes a portion of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 and the entire second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. 【0152】 The Ag plating layer 45 is formed in a film-like manner along the outer surface of the Au plating layer 44. Within the second opening 37, the Ag plating layer 45 partially covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, leaving a gap from the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31 toward the first inner wall 32 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, such that a portion of the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 is exposed. The Ag plating layer 45 covers the Au plating layer 44, leaving a gap from the opening end of the second opening 37 toward the inorganic insulating layer 30.

At least one of the Pd plating layer 43, Au plating layer 44, and Ag plating layer 45 may cover a portion of the second inner wall 35 of the organic insulating layer 31. 【0153】 As described above, the semiconductor device 61 can achieve the same effects as those described for the semiconductor device 1. In particular, the Ni plating layer 41 of the semiconductor device 61 covers the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30 at a distance from the organic insulating layer 31 within the second opening 37. This prevents the formation of undesirable gaps between the organic insulating layer 31 and the Ni plating layer 41. Therefore, the reliability of the Ni plating layer 41 can be reliably improved. 【0154】 Furthermore, the semiconductor device 61 includes an outer plating layer 42 that covers the outer surface of the Ni plating layer 41. With this structure, no gap is formed between the organic insulating layer 31 and the Ni plating layer 41, so the outer plating layer 42 can be properly formed along the outer surface of the Ni plating layer 41. Therefore, poor connectivity of the Ni plating layer 41 caused by abnormal film formation of the outer plating layer 42 can be properly suppressed, and at the same time, peeling (poor connectivity) of the outer plating layer 42 can be properly suppressed. 【0155】 The outer plating layer 42 specifically includes at least one of the Pd plating layer 43, the Au plating layer 44, and the Ag plating layer 45. Therefore, poor connectivity of the Ni plating layer 41 caused by abnormal film formation of the Pd plating layer 43, the Au plating layer 44, and the Ag plating layer 45 can be suppressed. At the same time, peeling (poor connectivity) of the Pd plating layer 43, the Au plating layer 44, and the Ag plating layer 45 can be suppressed. 【0156】 Figure 9 is a plan view showing the semiconductor device 101 according to the third embodiment. Figure 10 is an enlarged view of region X shown in Figure 9. Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view along the line XI-XI shown in Figure 10. Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view along the line XII-XII shown in Figure 9. Figure 13 is an enlarged view of region XIII shown in Figure 12. Figure 14 is an enlarged view of region XIV shown in Figure 12. Hereafter, structures corresponding to the structures described for semiconductor device 1 will be given the same reference numerals and their descriptions will be omitted. 【0157】 Referring to Figures 9 to 14, semiconductor device 101 is a SiC semiconductor device in which a MISFET (Metal Insulator Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor), as an example of a functional device, is formed in the active region 8 instead of an SBD. 【0158】 The semiconductor device 101 includes a SiC chip 2, a main surface insulating layer 12, a first main surface electrode 21, an insulating layer 24, a pad electrode 40, and a second main surface electrode (back surface electrode) 46. In Figure 9, the insulating layer 24 is shown by hatching. The first main surface 3 and the second main surface 4 of the SiC chip 2 are formed in a square shape (rectangular in this embodiment) in plan view. 【0159】 The first side surface 5A and the second side surface 5B extend along the first direction X and face the second direction Y which intersects the first direction X. The first side surface 5A and the second side surface 5B form the short side of the SiC chip 2. The third side surface 5C and the fourth side surface 5D extend along the second direction Y and face the first direction X. The third side surface 5C and the fourth side surface 5D form the long side of the SiC chip 2. 【0160】 The length of the first side surface 5A (second side surface 5B) may be 0.1 mm or more and 8 mm or less. Preferably, the length of the first side surface 5A (second side surface 5B) is 0.1 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less.

The SiC substrate 6 is formed as the drain region of the MISFET. The SiC epitaxial layer 7 is formed as the drift region of the MISFET. 【0162】 In this configuration, the SiC epitaxial layer 7 has different n-type impurity concentrations along the normal direction Z. Specifically, the SiC epitaxial layer 7 includes a high-concentration region 102 with a high n-type impurity concentration, and a low-concentration region 103 with a lower n-type impurity concentration than the high-concentration region 102. 【0163】 The high-concentration region 102 is formed in the region on the first main surface 3 side. The low-concentration region 103 is formed in the region on the second main surface 4 side relative to the high-concentration region 102. The thickness of the high-concentration region 102 is less than the thickness of the low-concentration region 103. The thickness of the high-concentration region 102 is less than half the total thickness of the SiC epitaxial layer 7. 【0164】 The n-type impurity concentration in the high-concentration region 102 is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 16 cm -3 The above 1.0 × 10 18 cm -3 The following may also apply: The n-type impurity concentration in the low-concentration region 103 is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 15 cm -3 The above 1.0 × 10 16 cm -3 The following may also be true.

The opening edge of the gate trench 105 is the portion that connects the first main surface 3 and the side wall of the gate trench 105. The inclined portion of the gate trench 105 is formed in a curved shape that is recessed toward the SiC chip 2. The inclined portion of the gate trench 105 may also be formed in a curved shape toward the gate trench 105. The inclined portion of the gate trench 105 mitigates electric field concentration toward the opening edge of the gate trench 105. 【0176】 The gate insulating layer 106 comprises at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, and tantalum oxide. The gate insulating layer 106 may have a laminated structure in which silicon oxide layers and silicon nitride layers are stacked in any order. The gate insulating layer 106 may have a single-layer structure consisting of silicon oxide layers or silicon nitride layers. In this embodiment, the gate insulating layer 106 has a single-layer structure consisting of silicon oxide layers. 【0177】 The gate insulating layer 106 is formed in a film-like manner along the inner wall of the gate trench 105, and defines the recess space within the gate trench 105. The gate insulating layer 106 includes a first region 108, a second region 109, and a third region 110. The first region 108 is formed along the side wall of the gate trench 105. The second region 109 is formed along the bottom wall of the gate trench 105.

The thickness of the second region 109 may be between 0.05 μm and 0.5 μm. The thickness of the second region 109 may exceed the thickness of the first region 108. The thickness of the third region 110 may be between 0.05 μm and 0.5 μm.

The bulge 111 is formed at the connection between the first region 108 and the third region 110 of the gate insulating layer 106. The bulge 111 is formed in a curved shape that curves inward into the gate trench 105. The bulge 111 narrows the opening of the gate trench 105 at the opening edge. A gate insulating layer 106 without a bulge 111 may be formed. A gate insulating layer 106 with a uniform thickness may be formed. 【0180】 The gate electrode 107 is embedded in the gate trench 105, with the gate insulating layer 106 in between. Specifically, the gate electrode 107 is embedded in a recess space partitioned by the gate insulating layer 106 within the gate trench 105. The gate electrode 107 has an electrode surface that is exposed from the opening of the gate trench 105. The electrode surface of the gate electrode 107 is formed in a curved shape that is recessed toward the bottom wall of the gate trench 105. The electrode surface of the gate electrode 107 is narrowed by the bulge 111 of the gate insulating layer 106. 【0181】 The gate electrode 107 is made of a conductive material other than a metallic material. Preferably, the gate electrode 107 is made of conductive polysilicon. In this embodiment, the gate electrode 107 contains p-type polysilicon to which p-type impurities have been added. 【0182】 The p-type impurity concentration of gate electrode 107 is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 18 cm -3 The above 1.0 × 10 22 cm -3 The following may also apply: The p-type impurities in the gate electrode 107 may include at least one of boron, aluminum, indium, and gallium. The sheet resistance of the gate electrode 107 may be between 10Ω / □ and 500Ω / □ (approximately 200Ω / □ in this configuration). The thickness of the gate electrode 107 may be between 0.5μm and 3μm. 【0183】 The semiconductor device 101 includes a first low-resistance layer 112 that covers the gate electrode 107. The first low-resistance layer 112 covers the gate electrode 107 within the gate trench 105. The first low-resistance layer 112 forms part of the trench gate structure 104. 【0184】 The first low-resistance layer 112 includes a conductive material having a sheet resistance less than that of the gate electrode 107. The sheet resistance of the first low-resistance layer 112 may be between 0.01 Ω / □ and 10 Ω / □. The thickness of the first low-resistance layer 112 may be between 0.01 μm and 3 μm. Preferably, the thickness of the first low-resistance layer 112 is less than the thickness of the gate electrode 107. 【0185】 The first low-resistance layer 112 specifically includes a polyside layer. The polyside layer is formed by silicideizing the surface portion of the gate electrode 107 with a metallic material. In other words, the electrode surface of the gate electrode 107 is formed by the first low-resistance layer 112. Specifically, the polyside layer consists of a p-type polyside layer containing p-type impurities added to the gate electrode 107. The polyside layer preferably has a resistivity of 10 μΩ·cm or more and 110 μΩ·cm or less. 【0186】 The sheet resistance within the gate trench 105, in which the gate electrode 107 and the first low-resistance layer 112 are embedded, is less than the sheet resistance of the gate electrode 107 alone. Preferably, the sheet resistance within the gate trench 105 is less than or equal to the sheet resistance of n-type polysilicon doped with n-type impurities. The sheet resistance within the gate trench 105 is approximated by the sheet resistance of the first low-resistance layer 112. The sheet resistance within the gate trench 105 may be between 0.01 Ω / □ and 10 Ω / □. Preferably, the sheet resistance within the gate trench 105 is less than 10 Ω / □. 【0187】 The first low-resistance layer 112 may contain at least one of TiSi, TiSi2, NiSi, CoSi, CoSi2, MoSi2, and WSi2. In particular, NiSi, CoSi2, and TiSi2 among these species are suitable as polyside layers for forming the first low-resistance layer 112 because their resistivity values ​​and temperature dependence are relatively small. Most preferably, the first low-resistance layer 112 is made of CoSi2, which has the property of diffusing little to other regions. 【0188】 The first low-resistance layer 112 includes a contact portion that contacts the gate insulating layer 106. Specifically, the contact portion of the first low-resistance layer 112 is in contact with the third region 110 (bulge portion 111) of the gate insulating layer 106. This suppresses the current path between the first low-resistance layer 112 and the SiC epitaxial layer 7. In particular, designing the contact portion of the first low-resistance layer 112 to connect to a relatively thick corner of the gate insulating layer 106 is effective in reducing the risk of current path formation. 【0189】 By embedding p-type polysilicon, which has a different work function than n-type polysilicon, in the gate trench 105, the gate threshold voltage Vth can be increased by about 1V. However, p-type polysilicon has a sheet resistance that is several tens of times (approximately 20 times) higher than that of n-type polysilicon. Therefore, when p-type polysilicon is used as the material for the gate electrode 107, energy loss increases with the increase in parasitic resistance (hereinafter simply referred to as "gate resistance") within the gate trench 105. 【0190】 Therefore, in the semiconductor device 101, a first low-resistance layer 112 (p-type polysilicon) is formed on the gate electrode 107 (p-type polysilicon). The first low-resistance layer 112 allows for an increase in the gate threshold voltage Vth while reducing the sheet resistance in the gate trench 105. 【0191】 For example, a structure having the first low-resistance layer 112 can reduce the sheet resistance to less than 1 / 100th compared to a structure without the first low-resistance layer 112. A structure having the first low-resistance layer 112 can reduce the sheet resistance to less than 1 / 5th compared to a gate electrode 107 containing n-type polysilicon. 【0192】 This reduces gate resistance, allowing current to be efficiently diffused along the trench gate structure 104. In other words, the first low-resistance layer 112 is formed as a current-diffusing layer that diffuses current within the gate trench 105. In particular, in the case of a gate trench 105 having a length on the order of millimeters (1 mm or more), current transmission takes time, but the first low-resistance layer 112 can appropriately suppress switching delay. 【0193】 The structure having the first low-resistance layer 112 eliminates the need to increase the p-type impurity concentration in the SiC epitaxial layer 7 to raise the gate threshold voltage Vth. Therefore, the gate threshold voltage Vth can be appropriately increased while suppressing an increase in channel resistance. 【0194】 The semiconductor device 101 includes a plurality of trench source structures 121, each formed in the region between a plurality of adjacent trench gate structures 104. The plurality of trench source structures 121 are formed with spacing in the second direction Y, sandwiching one trench gate structure 104 between them. 【0195】 Each of the multiple trench source structures 121 is formed in a strip-like shape extending along the first direction X. In a plan view, each of the multiple trench source structures 121 is formed in a stripe-like shape extending along the first direction X. 【0196】 The pitch PS between the central parts of adjacent trench source structures 121 in the second direction Y may be 1 μm or more and 5 μm or less. The pitch PS may be 1 μm or more and 2 μm or less, 2 μm or more and 3 μm or less, 3 μm or more and 4 μm or less, or 4 μm or more and 5 μm or less. Preferably, the pitch PS is 1.5 μm or more and 3 μm or less. 【0197】 Each trench source structure 121 includes a source trench 122, a source insulating layer 123, and a source electrode 124. In Figure 10, the source electrode 124 is indicated by hatching. 【0198】 The source trench 122 is formed in the SiC epitaxial layer 7. The source trench 122 includes side walls and a bottom wall.

With respect to the normal direction Z, the bottom wall of source trench 122 is located in the region between the bottom wall of gate trench 105 and the low-concentration region 103. 【0200】 The bottom wall of the source trench 122 faces the c-plane of the SiC single crystal.

The bottom wall of the source trench 122 may be formed in a curved shape toward the second main surface 4. 【0201】 The source trench 122 has a second depth D2 that exceeds the first depth D1 of the gate trench 105. The ratio DS / DG of the second depth D2 to the first depth D1 may be 1.5 or more, provided that the source trench 122 is located within the high-concentration region 102. Preferably, the ratio DS / DG is 2 or more. 【0202】 The second depth D2 may be 0.5 μm or more and 10 μm or less. The second depth D2 may be 0.5 μm or more and 1 μm or less, 1 μm or more and 2 μm or less, 2 μm or more and 4 μm or less, 4 μm or more and 6 μm or less, 6 μm or more and 8 μm or less, or 8 μm or more and 10 μm or less. A source trench 122 having a second depth D2 that is approximately equal to the first depth D1 may be formed. 【0203】 The source trench 122 includes a first trench section 125 and a second trench section 126. The first trench section 125 is formed on the opening side of the source trench 122. The first trench section 125 has a first width W1 with respect to the second direction Y. The first trench section 125 may be formed in a tapered shape, with the first width W1 narrowing from the first main surface 3 toward the bottom wall side. 【0204】 The first trench portion 125 is preferably formed in the region of the gate trench 105 on the side of the first main surface 3 relative to the bottom wall. In other words, the depth of the first trench portion 125 is preferably less than the first depth D1 of the gate trench 105. The first trench portion 125 may be formed across the bottom wall of the gate trench 105. In other words, the depth of the first trench portion 125 may exceed the first depth D1 of the gate trench 105. 【0205】 The depth of the first trench 125 may be 0.1 μm or more and 2 μm or less. The depth of the first trench 125 may be 0.1 μm or more and 0.5 μm or less, 0.5 μm or more and 1 μm or less, 1 μm or more and 1.5 μm or less, or 1.5 μm or more and 2 μm or less. 【0206】 The first width W1 of the first trench portion 125 may be greater than or equal to the width of the gate trench 105, or less than the width of the gate trench 105. Preferably, the first width W1 exceeds the width of the gate trench 105. The first width W1 may be 0.1 μm or more and 2 μm or less.

The second trench 126 is formed in the region between the first trench 125 and the bottom of the SiC epitaxial layer 7 with respect to the normal direction Z, and crosses the bottom wall of the gate trench 105. With respect to the normal direction Z, it is preferable that the depth of the second trench 126 with respect to the first trench 125 exceeds the first depth D1 of the gate trench 105. 【0208】 The second trench section 126 has a second width W2 that is less than the first width W1 with respect to the second direction Y. The second width W2 may be greater than or equal to the width of the gate trench 105, or it may be less than the width of the gate trench 105, given the condition that it is less than the first width W1. 【0209】 The second width W2 may be 0.1 μm or more and less than 2 μm.

Of course, a second trench portion 126 having a second width W2 that is approximately equal to the first width W1 may be formed. 【0210】 Preferably, the overall opening width of the source trench 122 is formed to be approximately the same as the opening width of the gate trench 105. The opening width of the source trench 122 being approximately the same as the opening width of the gate trench 105 means that the opening width of the source trench 122 falls within ±20% of the opening width of the gate trench 105. 【0211】 The side walls of the second trench portion 126 may extend along the normal direction Z.

Specifically, multiple contact regions 143 are formed in a one-to-many relationship with respect to a single corresponding source trench 122. Multiple contact regions 143 are formed at intervals along the corresponding source trenches 122. Multiple contact regions 143 are formed at intervals from the gate trench 105. 【0234】 Each contact region 143 covers the corresponding first trench portion 125. Each contact region 143 is interposed between the sidewall contact portion 130 of the source electrode 124 and the source region 142 in the corresponding first trench portion 125. Each contact region 143 is further interposed between the sidewall contact portion 130 of the source electrode 124 and the body region 141 in the corresponding first trench portion 125. 【0235】 As a result, each contact region 143 is electrically connected to the source electrode 124, the body region 141, and the source region 142. Each contact region 143 is source-grounded within the SiC chip 2. 【0236】 In each contact region 143, the portion covering the first trench 125 extends toward the gate trench 105. In each contact region 143, the portion covering the first trench 125 is formed in the region on the first main surface 3 side relative to the bottom of the body region 141. In each contact region 143, the portion covering the first trench 125 may extend to the intermediate region between the gate trench 105 and the source trench 122. 【0237】 Each contact region 143 further covers the corresponding second trench portion 126. Each contact region 143 faces the source electrode 124 across the source insulating layer 123 in the corresponding second trench portion 126. 【0238】 Each contact region 143 further covers the bottom wall of the corresponding source trench 122. Each contact region 143 faces the source electrode 124 across the bottom wall of the corresponding source trench 122. The bottom of each contact region 143 may be formed parallel to the bottom wall of the corresponding source trench 122. 【0239】 The semiconductor device 101 includes a plurality of p-type deep well regions 144 formed on the surface layer of the first main surface 3 in the active region 8. The peak value of the p-type impurity concentration in each deep well region 144 is less than the peak value of the p-type impurity concentration in the contact region 143. 【0240】 The peak value of the p-type impurity concentration in each deep well region 144 may be greater than or equal to the peak value of the p-type impurity concentration in the body region 141, or less than the peak value of the p-type impurity concentration in the body region 141. The peak value of the p-type impurity concentration in each deep well region 144 is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ 17 cm -3 The above 1.0 × 10 19 cm -3 The following is also acceptable. 【0241】 Multiple deep well regions 144 are formed in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple source trenches 122. Each deep well region 144 is formed in a strip shape extending along the corresponding source trench 122 in a plan view. Each deep well region 144 is formed in a high-density region 102. Each deep well region 144 is formed in the region on the second main surface 4 side relative to the body region 141. Each deep well region 144 is connected to the body region 141. 【0242】 Each deep well region 144 includes a portion that covers the corresponding second trench region 126.

The bottom of each deep well region 144 may be formed parallel to the bottom wall of each source trench 122. The plurality of deep well regions 144 are preferably formed at a constant depth. 【0244】 Each deep well region 144 forms a pn junction with the high concentration region 102. From this pn junction, a depletion layer spreads toward the gate trench 105. The depletion layer may overlap the bottom wall of the gate trench 105. 【0245】 In the semiconductor device 101 including only the pn junction diode, due to the structure without trenches, the problem of electric field concentration in the SiC chip 2 is less. Each deep well region 144 makes the trench gate type MISFET approach the structure of the pn junction diode. Thereby, in the trench gate type MISFET, the electric field in the SiC chip 2 can be relaxed. 【0246】 According to the deep well region 144 having a bottom on the second main surface 4 side with respect to the bottom wall of the gate trench 105, the electric field concentration with respect to the gate trench 105 can be appropriately relaxed by the depletion layer. Narrowing the pitch PS between the plurality of source trenches 122 (deep well regions 144) is effective in relaxing the electric field concentration and improving the breakdown voltage. 【0247】 The plurality of deep well regions 144 are preferably formed at a constant depth. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the breakdown voltage (for example, the breakdown withstand) of the SiC chip 2 from being limited by each deep well region 144, so that the breakdown voltage can be appropriately improved. 【0248】 By using the source trench 122, the deep well region 144 can be appropriately formed in a relatively deep region of the SiC chip 2. Since the deep well region 144 can be formed along the source trench 122, variations in the depths of the plurality of deep well regions 144 can be appropriately suppressed. 【0249】 In this form, a part of the high-concentration region 102 is interposed in the region between the plurality of deep well regions 144. Thereby, the JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistor) resistance can be reduced in the region between the plurality of deep well regions 144. 【0250】 In this form, the bottom of each deep well region 144 is located in the high-concentration region 102. Thereby, a current path can be formed in the lateral direction parallel to the first main surface 3 in the region directly below each deep well region 144 in the high-concentration region 102. As a result, the current spreading resistance can be reduced. The low-concentration region 103 increases the breakdown voltage of the SiC chip 2 in such a structure. 【0251】 The main surface insulating layer 12 covers the entire area of the first main surface 3.

This allows the first conductive bonding material 343 to be properly connected to the pad electrode 40 of the SBD chip 341. Thus, the SBD chip 341 can be properly connected to the first heat dissipation section 311 and the second heat dissipation section 321 thermally, mechanically, and electrically. 【0408】 If the SBD chip 341 does not have an organic insulating layer 31, cracks or delamination may occur in the pad electrodes 40, etc., of the SBD chip 341 due to fillers contained in the package body 302. This type of problem is called filler attack and is one of the factors that reduces the reliability of the pad electrodes 40, etc. Therefore, in the SBD chip 341, an organic insulating layer 31 is formed on top of the inorganic insulating layer 30. As a result, the organic insulating layer 31 acts as a cushion against the fillers, so the pad electrodes 40, etc., can be properly protected from filler attack. 【0409】 Furthermore, as described in the first and second embodiments, the SBD chip 341 has a structure in which the Ni plating layer 41 is connected to the inner peripheral edge 38 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, in a structure equipped with an organic insulating layer 31. This effectively suppresses cracks and peeling of the Ni plating layer 41 (outer plating layer 42) caused by filler attack. 【0410】 According to the semiconductor package 301, the second conductive bonding material 344 is connected to the source pad electrode 182 of the MISFET chip 342. The source pad electrode 182 of the MISFET chip 342 includes a second Ni plating layer 193 and a second outer plating layer 194, as described in the third and fourth embodiments. This allows the second conductive bonding material 344 to be properly connected to the source pad electrode 182 of the MISFET chip 342. Thus, the MISFET chip 342 can be properly connected thermally, mechanically, and electrically to the first heat dissipation section 311 and the second heat dissipation section 321. 【0411】 If the MISFET chip 342 does not have an organic insulating layer 31, cracks or delamination may occur in the source pad electrode 182, etc., of the MISFET chip 342 due to fillers contained in the package body 302. This type of problem is called filler attack and is one of the factors that reduces the reliability of the source pad electrode 182, etc. Therefore, in the MISFET chip 342, an organic insulating layer 31 is formed on top of the inorganic insulating layer 30. As a result, the organic insulating layer 31 acts as a cushion against fillers, so that the source pad electrode 182, etc., can be properly protected from filler attack. 【0412】 Furthermore, as described in the third and fourth embodiments, the MISFET chip 342 has a structure in which the second Ni plating layer 193 is connected to the first source inner wall 164 of the inorganic insulating layer 30, in a structure equipped with an organic insulating layer 31. This effectively suppresses cracks and peeling of the second Ni plating layer 193 (second outer plating layer 194) caused by filler attack. The MISFET chip 342 can achieve the same effects on the gate pad electrode 181 side as on the source pad electrode 182 side. 【0413】 In this embodiment, an example was described in which the semiconductor package 301 includes an SBD chip 341 and a MISFET chip 342. However, a semiconductor package 301 including only one of the SBD chip 341 and the MISFET chip 342 may be used. A semiconductor package 301 including multiple SBD chips 341 and / or multiple MISFET chips 342 may also be used. 【0414】 Embodiments of the present invention can be carried out in yet other forms. 【0415】 In the third and fourth embodiments described above, if increasing the gate threshold voltage Vth is not a concern, the gate electrode 107 may contain n-type polysilicon doped with n-type impurities instead of p-type polysilicon. In this case, a first low-resistance layer 112 made of n-type polyside is formed. With such a structure, the gate resistance can be further reduced. 【0416】 In the third and fourth embodiments described above, n-type polysilicon with added n-type impurities may be included instead of p-type polysilicon. In the third and fourth embodiments described above, a structure may be adopted in which either or both of the first low-resistance layer 112 and the second low-resistance layer 131 are not formed. 【0417】 In the aforementioned third and fourth embodiments, n + Instead of a drain region of type p +A collector region of type may be employed. This structure allows for the provision of an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) instead of a MISFET. In this case, in the third and fourth embodiments described above, the "source" of the MISFET is replaced with the "emitter" of the IGBT, and the "drain" of the MISFET is replaced with the "collector" of the IGBT. 【0418】 In each of the embodiments described above, a Si chip made of a Si single crystal may be used instead of the SiC chip 2. In other words, the semiconductor device (reference numerals omitted) in each of the embodiments described above may be a Si semiconductor device. In each of the embodiments described above, a structure in which the conductivity type of each semiconductor portion is reversed may be adopted. In other words, the p-type portion may be made n-type, and the n-type portion may be made p-type. 【0419】 The following are examples of features extracted from this specification and drawings.
