Abstract: After creating an electron transit layer on a substrate, a baffle is formed on midpart of the surface of the electron transit layer, the surface having a pair of spaced-apart parts left on both sides of the baffle. A semiconducting material different from that of the electron transit layer is deposited on its surface thereby conjointly fabricating an electron supply layer grown continuously on the pair of spaced-apart parts of the electron transit layer surface, and a discontinuous growth layer on the baffle in the midpart of the electron transit layer surface. When no voltage is being impressed to the gate electrode on the discontinuous growth layer, this layer creates a hiatus in the two-dimensional electron gas layer generated along the heterojunction between the electron supply layer and electron transit layer. The hiatus is closed upon voltage application to the gate electrode.

Abstract: Ion implantation is carried out to form a p-well region and a source region in parts of a high resistance SiC layer on a SiC substrate, and a carbon film is deposited over the substrate. With the carbon film deposited over the substrate, annealing for activating the implanted dopant ions is performed, and then the carbon film is removed. Thus, a smooth surface having hardly any surface roughness caused by the annealing is obtained. Furthermore, if a channel layer is epitaxially grown, the surface roughness of the channel layer is smaller than that of the underlying layer. Since the channel layer having a smooth surface is provided, it is possible to obtain a MISFET with a high current drive capability.
