    摘要: Characteristics of a semiconductor device are improved. The semiconductor device is configured to provide a trench that penetrates a barrier layer, and reaches a middle portion of a channel layer among an n+ layer, an n-type layer, a p-type layer, the channel layer, and the barrier layer which are formed above a substrate, a gate electrode arranged within the groove through a gate insulating film, and a source electrode and a drain electrode which are formed above the barrier layer on both sides of the gate electrode. The n-type layer and the drain electrode are electrically coupled to each other by a connection portion that reaches the n+ layer. The p-type layer and the source electrode are electrically coupled to each other by a connection portion that reaches the p-type layer. A diode including a p-type layer and an n-type layer is provided between the source electrode and the drain electrode, to thereby prevent the breaking of an element caused by an avalanche breakdown.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a buffer layer, a channel layer and a barrier layer formed over a substrate, a trench penetrating through the barrier layer to reach the middle of the channel layer, and a gate electrode disposed inside the trench via a gate insulating film. The channel layer contains n-type impurities, and a region of the channel layer positioned on a buffer layer side has an n-type impurity concentration larger than a region of the channel layer positioned on a barrier layer side, and the buffer layer is made of nitride semiconductor having a band gap wider than that of the channel layer. The channel layer is made of GaN and the buffer layer is made of AlGaN. The channel layer has a channel lower layer containing n-type impurities at an intermediate concentration and a main channel layer formed thereon and containing n-type impurities at a low concentration.

    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 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.
