摘要: In a group III nitride-type field effect transistor, the present invention reduces a leak current component by conduction of residual carriers in a buffer layer, and achieves improvement in a break-down voltage, and enhances a carrier confinement effect (carrier confinement) of a channel to improve pinch-off characteristics (to suppress a short channel effect). For example, when applying the present invention to a GaN-type field effect transistor, besides GaN of a channel layer, a composition-modulated (composition-gradient) AlGaN layer in which aluminum composition reduces toward a top gradually or stepwise is used as a buffer layer (hetero buffer). To gate length Lg of a FET to be prepared, a sum a of layer thicknesses of an electron supply layer and a channel layer is selected so as to fulfill Lg/a≥5, and in such a case, the layer thickness of the channel layer is selected in a range of not exceeding 5 times (about 500 Å) as long as a de Broglie wavelength of two-dimensional electron gas accumulated in the channel layer in room temperature.

摘要: In a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to the present invention, a buffer layer including a first nitride semiconductor layer, a channel layer including a second nitride semiconductor layer, and a barrier layer including a third nitride semiconductor layer are sequentially laminated, and a fourth nitride semiconductor layer is further laminated thereover. Then, a laminate of a gate insulating film and a gate electrode is formed over a first region of the fourth nitride semiconductor layer, and a silicon nitride film is formed over the fourth nitride semiconductor layer and the laminate. By bringing the fourth nitride semiconductor layers on both sides of the gate electrode into contact with the silicon nitride film in this way, the function of suppressing 2DEG can be lowered, and the 2DEG that has been eliminated after the formation of the fourth nitride semiconductor layer can be restored. The lowering in the function of suppressing 2DEG is maintained even after the silicon nitride film is removed.

摘要: Characteristics of a semiconductor device using a nitride semiconductor are improved. A semiconductor device of the present invention includes a buffer layer, a channel layer, a barrier layer, a mesa-type 2DEG dissolving layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a gate insulating film formed on the mesa-type 2DEG dissolving layer, and an overlying gate electrode. The gate insulating film of the semiconductor device includes a sputtered film formed on the mesa-type 2DEG dissolving layer and a CVD film formed on the sputtered film. The sputtered film is formed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere by a sputtering process using a target including an insulator. This makes it possible to reduce positive charge amount at a MOS interface and in gate insulating film and increase a threshold voltage, and thus improve normally-off characteristics.

摘要: Characteristics of a semiconductor device are improved. A semiconductor device includes a sequential stack of a buffer layer, a channel layer, and a barrier layer, and includes a mesa part including a fourth nitride semiconductor layer formed over the stack, and a side part formed on both sides of the mesa part and including a thin film part of the fourth nitride semiconductor layer. Generation of 2DEG is suppressed below the mesa part while being unsuppressed below the side part. In this way, the side part that disables the 2DEG suppression effect is provided on an end portion of the mesa part, thereby a distance from an end portion of the side part to the gate electrode is increased, making it possible to suppress leakage caused by a current path passing through an undesired channel formed between a gate insulating film and the mesa part.

摘要: A mesa portion of a semiconductor device, which includes a channel base layer formed of a first nitride semiconductor layer, a channel layer formed of a second nitride semiconductor layer, a barrier layer formed of a third nitride semiconductor layer, a mesa-type fourth nitride semiconductor layer, a gate insulating film that covers the mesa portion, and a gate electrode formed over the gate insulating film, is used as a co-doped layer. The mesa portion is used as the co-doped layer, so that interface charges generated at an interface between the gate insulating film and the mesa portion can be cancelled by p-type impurity or n-type impurity in the co-doped layer and a threshold potential can be improved. Further, the fourth nitride semiconductor layer is n-type until the gate insulating film is formed, and the fourth nitride semiconductor layer is made neutral or p-type after the gate insulating film is formed.
