Abstract

In a junction gate FET at least one insulating region 25a, 25b is formed at the interface between the source or drain region 22, 23 and the channel region 24. The gate region 26 is produced so that it abuts the insulating region(s) 25a, 25b so that the gate junction does not exhibit a curved edge profile with the associated electric field concentration. This structure increases the high voltage resistance of the FET while enabling the use of a shallow gate region which facilitates the simultaneous formation of bipolar transistors. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION r Semiconductor device and manufacturing method therefor The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, especially a field effect transistor, and a manufacturing method for the same.
With a conventional junction type field effect transistor (J-FET), high voltage resistance is achieved with the construction shown in Fig. 1, for example. A p-type source region 12 and a p-type drain region 13 both of high concentration are formed in.an n-type silicon substrate 11. A p-type channel region 14 of low concentration is formed between the source region 12 and the drain region 13, and an n-type gate region 15 of high concentration is formed in the channel region 14.
Thus, the n-type gate region 15 functions to prevent direct contact between the p-type source region 12 and the p-type drain region 13, so that the voltage resistance at the pn junction is determined by the concentration in the p-type channel region 14.
However, with the transistor of such a construction, the factor which determines the voltage resistance includes, in addition to the concentration of the channel region 14, the shape (curvature) of the gate region 15. When the junction depth of the gate region 15 is shallow, the radius of curvature becomes smaller so that the electric field is concentrated at this part. Thus, the voltage resistance is determined more by the curvature than by the concentration of the channel region 14, resulting in degradation of the voltage resistance. For achieving high voltage resistance with such a conventional structure, it is necessary to form both the channel region 14 and the gate region 15 to be deep for enlarging the radius of curvature, and to widen the distances between the gate region 15, the source region 12, and the drain region 13.
For manufacturing such a transistor, it is necessary to perform high temperature diffusion for a long period of time, so simultaneous formation with other bipolar integrated circuits becomes impossible. Further, the elements cannot be made smaller since wide distances must be maintained between the gate region 15, the source region 12, and the drain region 13.
The present invention has been made to overcome these problems and has for its object to provide a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method therefor according to which the voltage resistance may be made higher, the elements may be made smaller, and simultaneous formation of general bipolar integrated circuits may be possible.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a semiconductor device including: a , semiconductor substrate of one conductivity type; first and second impurity regions of opposite conductivity type to that of said substrate, which are formed in the surface of said substrate to be opposed and separate from each other; a third impurity region of the same conductivity type as that of said first and second impurity regions, which is formed between said first and second impurity regions and have an impurity concentration lower than that of said first and second impurity regions; at least one insulation region formed shallower than said third impurity region along the interfaces between said first impurity region or second impurity region and said third impurity region; and a fourth impurity region of opposite conductivity type to that of said third impurity region, which is formed between said insulation regions when two said insulation regions are formed, and between said insulation region and one of said first and second impurity regions when one said insulation region is formed.
In this semiconductor device, said first and second impurity regions may constitute the source and drain regions of the field effect transistor, and said fourth impurity region may constitute the gate region of the field effect transistor.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the steps of: forming first and second impurity regions of opposite conductivity type to one conductivity type of a semiconductor substrate in the surface of said substrate to be opposed and separate from each other; forming a third impurity region of the same conductivity type as that of said first and second impurity regions between said first and second impurity regions, said third impurity region having an impurity concentration lower than that of said first and second impurity regions; forming at least one insulation region shallower than said third impurity region along the interfaces of said first impurity region or second impurity region and said third impurity region; and forming a fourth impurity region of opposite conductivity type to that of said third impurity region in said third impurity region to be shallower than said insulation region.
This invention can be more fully understood from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a sectional view of a conventional semiconductor device; Figure 2 is a sectional view of a semiconductor device in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; Figures 3(A) through 3(C) are sectional views illustrating the manufacturing method of the device shown in Fig. 2; Figure 4 is a sectional view of an integrated circuit including the device shown in Fig. 2 and a bipolar transistor; and Figure 5 is a sectional view of a semiconductor device in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.
One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. in Fig. 2, numeral 21 denotes an n-type silicon substrate, and a ptype source region 22 and a p-type drain region 23 of high concentration are formed on the major surface of the substrate 21. A ptype channel region 24 of low concentration and of the same conductivity type as that of the source region 22 and the drain region 23 is formed between the source region 22 and the drain region 23. Insulation regions 25a and 25b of SiO2 (silicon oxide films) are formed at the interfaces of the channel region 24 with the source region 22 and the drain region 23.An n-type gate region 26 of high concentration is formed at a position surrounded by the insulation regions 25a and 25b and the channel region 24 in such a manner as to secure junctions with the insulation regions 25a and 25b and the channel region 24. The junction of the gate region 26 with the channel region 24, that is, a pn junction, is a planar junction. Thus, the electric field is not concentrated at the pn junction so that the voltage resistance is not degraded.
It is, therefore, not necessary to make the channel region 24 and the gate region 26 deep or to widen the distances between the gate region 26, the source region 22 and the drain region 23 so that the elements may be made smaller.
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device as described above will be described. A p-type impurity such as boron (B) is introduced at high concentration by the known ion implantation method to one major surface of the n-type silicon substrate 21 to form the source region 22 and the drain region 23 as shown in Fig. 3(A). A p-type impurity such as boron (B) is introduced at low concentration by the ion implantation method between the source region 22 and the drain region 23 to form the channel region 24.The junction depth of the channel region 24, the source region 22 and the drain region 23 is sufficient to be equivalent to the base depth of a general bipolar element (2.5-3.0 jim). An SiO2 film 27 is formed on the surface of the substrate 21 by the CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method, and an antioxidant film such as an Si3N4 (silicon nitride) film 28 is formed on the SiO2 film 27.The parts of the Si3N4 film 28 corresponding to the interfaces of the channel region 24 with the source region 22 and the drain region 23 are selectively exposed as shown in Fig. 3z Thereafter, using the Si3N4 as a mask, these parts of the interfaces are oxidized in an oxidizing atmosphere under pressure to form the insulation regions 25a and 25b. The conditions for the oxidation under pressure may be such that hydrogen is burned at 1,000 C at 9 atmospheres to form the insulation regions 25a and 25b of 1.5 #m thicliness in about 60 minutes.Since the junction depth, the layer resistance and so on irbf the already formed channel region 24, the source region 22 and the drain region 23 do not change during the oxidation under pressure, the punch-through voltage (Vp) of the field effect transistor may be set to a predeter mined value with excellent reproducibility.
When the method is used with a general npn transistor, the element characteristics such as current amplification factor (hfe) do not fluctuate and can be controlled to be excellent.
Then, the Si3N4 film 28 is removed as shown in Fig. 3(C), and the part of the SiO2 film 27 between the insulation regions 25a and 25b is exposed and an n-type impurity such as phosphorus (P) is diffused at high concentration through the exposed part to form the gate region 26. A PSG (phosphosilicate glass) film 29 is coated thereover by the CVD method to protect the surface.
With such a construction, a junction type field effect transistor with high voltage resistance and smaller elements is possible, and simultaneous formation with general bipolar integrated circuits becomes feasible. As shown in Fig. 4, a general bipolar npn transistor 33, for example, is formed with the junction type field effect transistor on a p-type silicon substrate 31 through an insulation isolating band 32. Then, it is possible to perform the diffusion of the n-type impurity of the gate region 26 of the junction type field effect transistor simultaneously with the diffusion of the n-type impurity of an emitter region 34 of the npn transistor 33. The junction depth of the gate region 26 must not exceed the depth of the insulation regions 25a and 25b.
Although the insulation regions 25a and 25b are formed prior to the formation of the gate region 26 in the above embodiment, this may alternatively be done after forming all of the elements.
Fig. 5 shows a field effect transistor in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 5, the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals as in Fig. 2. The field effect transistor of Fig. 5 thus corresponds to that shown in Fig.
2, except the insulation region 25b is removed.
The voltage resistance is improved in the case of the FET in Fig. 5 to the same degree as that in Fig. 2. Furthermore, the case of Fig.
5 is more advantageous for smaller transistors in that the dimensions of the FET may be reduced by the space required for the region 25b since the insulation region 25b is not included.
