  • Patent number: 9484414
    Abstract: A MOSFET includes a silicon carbide substrate including a main surface having an off angle with respect to a {0001} plane and a source electrode formed in contact with the main surface. A base surface is exposed at at least a part of a contact interface of the silicon carbide substrate with the source electrode. With such a construction, the MOSFET achieves suppressed variation in threshold voltage.

  • Patent number: 8829605
    Abstract: A MOSFET includes: a substrate made of silicon carbide and having a first trench and a second trench formed therein, the first trench having an opening at the main surface side, the second trench having an opening at the main surface side and being shallower than the first trench; a gate insulating film; a gate electrode; and a source electrode disposed on and in contact with a wall surface of the second trench. The substrate includes a source region, a body region, and a drift region. The first trench is formed to extend through the source region and the body region and reach the drift region. The second trench is formed to extend through the source region and reach the body region.

  • Patent number: 8283674
    Abstract: MOSFET is provided with SiC film. SiC film has a facet on its surface, and the length of one period of the facet is 100 nm or more, and the facet is used as channel. Further, a manufacturing method of MOSFET includes: a step of forming SiC film; a heat treatment step of heat-treating SiC film in a state where Si is supplied on the surface of SiC film; and a step of forming the facet obtained on the surface of SiC film by the heat treatment step into a channel. Thereby, it is possible to sufficiently improve the characteristics.

  • Patent number: 8274088
    Abstract: A fabrication method of a surface-emitting laser element includes a step of preparing a conductive GaN multiple-region substrate including a high dislocation density high conductance region, a low dislocation density high conductance region and a low dislocation density low conductance region, as a conductive GaN substrate; a semiconductor layer stack formation step of forming a group III-V compound semiconductor layer stack including an emission layer on the substrate; and an electrode formation step of forming a semiconductor layer side electrode and a substrate side electrode. The semiconductor layer and electrodes are formed such that an emission region into which carriers flow in the emission layer is located above and within the span of the low dislocation density high conductance region. Thus, a surface-emitting laser element having uniform light emission at the emission region can be obtained with favorable yield.
