Abstract

On a surface of a portion of a front electrode exposed in an opening of a passivation film, a Ni-deposited film having high solder wettability is provided apart from the sidewalls of the opening of the passivation film. Metal wiring is soldered to the Ni-deposited film. The solder layer is formed only on the Ni-deposited film and thus, the solder layer and the passivation film do not contact each other. The front electrode contains Al and an entire area of the surface of the front electrode excluding the portion where the Ni-deposited film is formed is covered by a surface oxide film that is constituted by an aluminum oxide film formed by intentionally oxidizing the surface of the front electrode. The surface oxide film intervenes between the front electrode, the passivation film, and a sealant, whereby the adhesive strength of the passivation film and the sealant is increased.

In forming the LaAlO3 film constituting the gate insulating film, a La2O3 film and an Al2O3 film are alternately deposited repeatedly using an ALD method. The La2O3 film is deposited first, whereby during a POA performed thereafter, a sub-oxide of the surface of the SiO2 film is removed by a cleaning effect of lanthanum atoms in the La2O3 film. A temperature of the POA is suitably set in a range from 700 degrees C. to less than 900 degrees C.

In an intermediate region between an active region and an edge termination region, on a front surface of a semiconductor substrate, a gate polysilicon wiring layer is provided via an insulating layer in which a gate insulating film and a field oxide film are stacked sequentially. An inner peripheral end of the field oxide film is positioned directly beneath the gate polysilicon wiring layer, which extends inward from the field oxide film and terminates on the gate insulating film. At the surface of the insulating layer directly beneath the gate polysilicon wiring layer, on the inner peripheral end of the field oxide film, a drop is formed by a difference in thickness due to whether the field oxide film is present. A distance from the drop to a contact hole of the active region is 21 μm or less.

Abstract

A diode formed by a polysilicon layer is disposed between a field oxide film and an interlayer insulating film, in a semiconductor substrate, at a front surface of the semiconductor substrate. One resist mask is used to form contact holes of the interlayer insulating film and contact trenches and a p+-type region of the polysilicon layer. The contact trenches are continuously formed from bottoms of the contact holes, respectively, in a depth direction. A low-resistance contact between the p+-type region and an anode electrode is formed at least at a bottom of the contact trench. During the formation of the p+-type region, while a p-type impurity is ion-implanted in an inner wall of the contact trench 3b, an n-type cathode region maintains an n-type conductivity thereof and a contact with a cathode electrode is formed at sidewalls of the contact trench.

Abstract

IGBT includes an n-type drift layer, an n-type accumulation layer provided on the upper surface of the drift layer having higher impurity concentration than the drift layer, a base layer provided on the upper surface of the accumulation layer, a gate electrode embedded inside a striped gate trench penetrating the base layer and the storage layer through a gate insulating film, and a dummy electrode embedded inside a dummy trench provided to face the gate trench across the base layer and the accumulation layer through a dummy insulating film. The base layer has a p-type active base region and a p-type floating base region arranged alternately in the extending direction of the gate trench, and an n-type base isolation region isolating the active base region and the floating base region.
