Title:
SILICON CARBIDE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SILICON CARBIDE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/114057
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The front-surface side of a silicon carbide semiconductor substrate is provided with a MOS gate structure comprising a p- well layer (4), an n+ source region (6), a gate insulating film (8), and a gate electrode (9). An inter-layer insulating film (10) is provided so as to cover the gate electrode (9), and contacts the gate-insulating film (8). A titanium film (16) covers the inter-layer insulating film (10) with a titanium nitride film (11) interposed therebetween. A source electrode (14) is provided on the surface of the titanium film (16) so as not to contact the inter-layer insulating film (10). The source electrode (14) is electrically connected to the p- well layer (4) and the n+ source region (6) with the titanium film (16) and a front-surface silicide layer (12) interposed therebetween. The titanium film (16) exhibits the function of storing and shielding hydrogen atoms and hydrogen ions produced from inside the source electrode (14) during a high-temperature operation. As a result, it is possible to stably obtain prescribed electrical properties and improve reliability.
