Title:
SILICON CARBIDE SEMICONDUCTOR ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR FORMING ITS INSULATION FILM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3697211
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an insulation film of a silicon carbide semiconductor element in which an interface state density sufficient as the semiconductor element is reduced in the insulation film/silicon carbide interface of the semiconductor element, and to provide a method for forming the same.
SOLUTION: The silicon carbide semiconductor element comprises a silicon carbide board having a step including a height of two atomic layers or more on a surface, and an oxide film formed on a surface of the silicon carbide board so that an interface state density of the oxide film and a silicon carbide is 1.5×1012 cm-2 or less. The method for forming the insulation film of the silicon carbide semiconductor element comprises the steps of holding a plurality of set temperatures in an atmosphere containing an oxygen, annealing the film, second time annealing at a temperature set lower than the first time annealing set temperature continued to the first time annealing, and annealing n times (n≥2) in the atmosphere containing the oxygen held at at least two more different temperatures.
