Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a body region disposed between a drift layer and each of a source region and a contact region, having a lower second conductivity type impurity concentration than the contact region, and having a second conductivity type; and a channel layer disposed on a portion of an inner surface of a trench corresponding at least to the contact region and having fewer crystal defects than the contact region, the trench extending through the source region, the contact region, and the body region to the drift layer.
Claims9
A semiconductor device comprising:
- a drift layer having a first conductivity type;
- a source region selectively disposed above the drift layer and having the first conductivity type;
- a contact region selectively disposed above the drift layer and having a second conductivity type;
- a body region disposed between the drift layer and each of the source region and the contact region, having a lower second conductivity type impurity concentration than the contact region, and having the second conductivity type;
- a channel layer disposed on a portion of an inner surface of a trench corresponding at least to the contact region and having fewer crystal defects than the contact region, the trench extending through the source region, the contact region, and the body region to the drift layer;
- a gate insulating film disposed along the inner surface of the trench;
- and
- a gate electrode disposed on the gate insulating film in the trench.
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
- forming a source region, a contact region, and a body region by ion implantation, the source region being selectively disposed above a drift layer having a first conductivity type and having the first conductivity type, the contact region being selectively disposed above the drift layer and having a second conductivity type, the body region being disposed between the drift layer and each of the source region and the contact region, having a lower second conductivity type impurity concentration than the contact region, and having the second conductivity type;
- forming a trench extending through the source region, the contact region, and the body region to the drift layer;
- forming a channel layer having fewer crystal defects than the contact region on a portion of an inner surface of the trench corresponding at least to the contact region;
- forming a gate insulating film along the inner surface of the trench;
- and
- forming a gate electrode on the gate insulating film in the trench.
