Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a diode provided with: a drift layer being a first conductivity type; a cathode region being provided in a back face side of the drift layer and being the first conductivity type; a second conductivity type region provided in a surface layer part of the drift layer; multiple trenches dividing the second conductivity type region into pieces by being provided deeper than the second conductivity type region, and configuring an anode region; a gate insulation film provided in a surface of the trench; a gate electrode provided in a surface of the gate insulation film; an upper electrode electrically connected with the anode region; and a lower electrode electrically connected with the cathode region. A width between the trenches is narrowest in the drift layer is defined as a mesa width. The mesa width is set to be equal to or greater than 0.3 ?m.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes applying at least one of a particle ray and a radial ray to a surface of a semiconductor substrate on which a transistor including a gate insulation film and a gate electrode has been formed adjacent to the surface, and annealing the semiconductor substrate for recovering a crystal defect contained in the gate insulation film and the gate electrode, after the applying. Further, the manufacturing method includes pre-annealing for reducing a content of a hydrogen molecule and a water molecule contained in the gate insulation film and the gate electrode to a predetermined concentration, before the applying. In the semiconductor device manufactured by this method, a concentration of thermally stable defect existing in the gate insulation film is reduced to a predetermined concentration.

Abstract: A transistor capable of adjusting a threshold value is obtained by adjusting an impurity concentration of a silicon substrate supporting an SOI layer and by controlling a thickness of a buried insulating layer formed on a surface of the silicon substrate in contact with the SOI layer.
