  • Patent number: 9385007
    Abstract: A plurality of semiconductor elements for power control are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A stress relaxation resin layer covering a crossing region where band-shaped dicing areas dividing the semiconductor elements adjacent to each other cross is formed. The crossing region is diced to cut the stress relaxation resin layer to obtain the separate semiconductor elements. Accordingly, even with semiconductor elements produced with a compound semiconductor substrate of SiC or the like, a semiconductor device having high adhesive strength with a sealing resin and being less likely to cause cracking or peeling of the sealing resin due to thermal stress during an operation can be obtained.

    Abstract: A nitride semiconductor device and its manufacturing method are provided which are capable of achieving low-resistance ohmic properties and high adhesion. A nitride semiconductor device has an n-type GaN substrate over which a semiconductor element is formed and an n-electrode as a metal electrode formed over the back surface of the GaN substrate. A surface denatured layer functioning as a carrier supply layer is provided between the GaN substrate and the n-electrode. The surface denatured layer is formed by denaturing the back surface of the GaN substrate by causing it to react with a material that contains silicon.
