Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to a semiconductor device in which a JTE (Junction / Termination / Extension) region is formed in a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate and a manufacturing method thereof.
- a JTE Joint / Termination / Extension
- Examples of power semiconductor devices include Schottky diodes, pn diodes, and MOSFETs (Metal / Oxide / Semiconductor / Field / Effect / Transistors) using a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate.
- MOSFETs Metal / Oxide / Semiconductor / Field / Effect / Transistors
- SiC silicon carbide
- various termination structures are introduced in order to prevent the electric field from concentrating on the pn junction in the SiC substrate.
- One of the termination structures is a JTE (Junction / Termination / Extension) structure (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).
- the JTE structure has a feature that it can be easily formed by ion implantation.
- the JTE structure also has a feature that the design is easy because the carrier concentration in the JTE region may be designed so that the JTE region is completely depleted during dielectric breakdown.
- Patent Document 1 proposes a technique for providing a concentration gradient in the JTE region.
- Patent Document 2 proposes a technique for covering the pn junction and the JTE region with a third layer. With these technologies, a high breakdown voltage semiconductor device is realized.
- JTE structure for suppressing the peak value of the electric field strength a structure having a concentration gradient in the JTE region as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and a pn junction as disclosed in Patent Document 2 are disclosed. And the JTE region is covered by a third layer.

- the “retrograde distribution” refers to a distribution having a peak of impurity concentration on the inner side of the back side of the substrate, that is, on the one side in the thickness direction of the JTE region.
- the third layer covering the pn junction and the JTE region does not necessarily have a higher impurity concentration than the drift layer. Therefore, when a relatively high reverse voltage is applied to the device, the third layer is completely depleted and maintains the electric field, so that the peak value of the electric field intensity reaching the surface of the device cannot be sufficiently reduced. There is a problem.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a high breakdown voltage semiconductor device capable of obtaining a stable breakdown voltage and a method for manufacturing the same.

- the semiconductor device of the present invention when a relatively high reverse voltage is applied to the pn junction, the first conductivity type region becomes an electric field shield.
- the first conductivity type region can suppress depletion on the surface on one side in the thickness direction of the junction termination region, the portion where the electric field strength is highest in the junction termination region is the thickness direction of the junction termination region. It can be located in the thickness direction other side rather than the surface of one side.
- Creeping discharge outside the substrate composed of the layer and the silicon carbide substrate can be suppressed. Therefore, since a reduction in breakdown voltage of the semiconductor device can be prevented, a high breakdown voltage semiconductor device that can obtain a stable breakdown voltage can be realized.
