  • Patent number: 10811512
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a first semiconductor region at a front surface of a substrate, the first semiconductor region including an active element that regulates current flowing in a thickness direction of the substrate; grinding a rear surface of the substrate; after the grinding, performing a first etching that etches the rear surface of the substrate with a chemical solution including phosphorus; after the first etching, performing a second etching that etches the rear surface with an etching method with a lower etching rate than the first etching; and after the second etching, forming a second semiconductor region through which the current is to flow, by implanting impurities from the rear surface of the substrate.
