Abstract

A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate including a drain, a drift making contact with a front face of the drain, a body contacting with a front face of the drift, a source provided in part of a front face of the body, and a floating surrounded by the drift; and a gate including an insulator formed on an inner wall of a trench and a electrode disposed inside the insulator and which has a bottom portion contacting with the floating, the manufacturing method includes: forming the trench in a semiconductor wafer so as to have a bottom portion in which an end portion in a short direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction thereof is deeper than a central portion; injecting an impurity ions into the bottom portion of the trench; and forming the central portion of the trench in the short direction to be deepened.

Claims (7)

1. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device, the device including a semiconductor substrate made from silicon carbide and including a first conductivity type drain layer, a first conductivity type drift layer making contact with a front face of the drain layer, a second conductivity type body layer making contact with a front face of the drift layer, a first conductivity type source layer provided in part of a front face of the body layer, and a second conductivity type floating layer surrounded by the drift layer, and a trench gate which includes a gate insulating film formed on an inner wall of a trench and a gate electrode disposed inside the gate insulating film and which has a bottom portion making contact with the floating layer, the floating layer covering the bottom portion of the gate electrode, the manufacturing method comprising:

forming the trench in a semiconductor wafer so as to have a bottom portion in which an end portion in a short direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction thereof is deeper than a central portion;

forming the floating layer by injecting second conductivity type impurity ions into the bottom portion of the trench after forming the trench; and

forming the central portion of the trench in the short direction to be deeper than a depth of the end portion so as not to penetrate the floating layer to the drift layer after forming the floating layer, wherein

the central portion of the trench in the short direction is deepened within an area defined by the diffusion of the second conductivity type impurity ions.

2. The manufacturing method of the semiconductor device, according to claim 1 , further comprising:

injecting second conductivity type impurity ions into the bottom portion of the trench after forming the central portion of the trench in the short direction to be deeper than the depth of the end portion so as not to penetrate the floating layer to the drift layer after forming the floating layer.
