【発明の詳細な説明】
(産業上の利用分野)
本発明はアモルファスSiCを用いる半導体装置に関す
る。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a semiconductor device using amorphous SiC.
(従来の技術)
アモルファスSiCは、太陽電池やエレクトロルミネッ
センス素子に用いられる材料である。アモルファスSi
Cのp型層を得るためのアクセプタとしてこれまでBの
添加を行っていた。Bを用いる主な理由は2つある。先
ず第一には、アモルファスSiではBの添加によって容
易に低抵抗なp型層が得らえることがあげられる。第二
に、アモルファスSiCは真空中で合成する手法が一般
的であるのでB2H6というガスとして供給できるBが
導入及び制御が容易なためである。しかし、アモルファ
スSiCでは全組成の数%程度のBを添加しても低抵抗
(抵抗率1×107Ωam以下)のp型層を得ることは
困難であった。この一つの理由としてBがアモルファス
SiC中では浅い準位を形成しないことが考えられる。(Prior Art) Amorphous SiC is a material used in solar cells and electroluminescent devices. Amorphous Si
Until now, B has been added as an acceptor to obtain a C p-type layer. There are two main reasons for using B. First of all, in amorphous Si, a p-type layer with low resistance can be easily obtained by adding B. Second, since amorphous SiC is generally synthesized in a vacuum, it is easy to introduce and control B, which can be supplied as a gas called B2H6. However, in amorphous SiC, it is difficult to obtain a p-type layer with low resistance (resistivity of 1×10 7 Ωam or less) even when B is added in an amount of several percent of the total composition. One possible reason for this is that B does not form a shallow level in amorphous SiC.
Bは結晶Siでは45meV程度のイオン化エネルギー
を持つが、結晶SiC中では600meV以上の大きな
イオン化エネルギーを持つ。アクセプタのイオン化エネ
ルギーが大きいとアクセプタからの正孔の放出がほとん
どおきないので低抵抗のp型層は得られない。B has an ionization energy of about 45 meV in crystalline Si, but has a large ionization energy of 600meV or more in crystalline SiC. If the ionization energy of the acceptor is large, few holes are emitted from the acceptor, so a p-type layer with low resistance cannot be obtained.
(発明が解決しようとする課題)
結晶SiC中でももっとも小さなイオン化エネルギー(
260meV)を持つアクセプタはAlである。本発明
の目的はアモルファスSiCへのp型層形成のためのア
クセプタにAlを用いることによって低抵抗のP型アモ
ルファスSiCの形成を可能にすることにある。(Problem to be solved by the invention) The lowest ionization energy among crystalline SiC (
260 meV) is Al. An object of the present invention is to enable the formation of low-resistance P-type amorphous SiC by using Al as an acceptor for forming a p-type layer on amorphous SiC.
