SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

A manufacturing method is disclosed which ensures strength of a wafer and improves device performance. A thermal diffusion layer is formed from a front surface of a wafer. A tapered groove which reaches the thermal diffusion layer is formed from a back surface by anisotropic etching with alkaline solution. In-groove thermal diffusion layer is formed on side wall surfaces of the groove. A separation layer of a reverse blocking IGBT is configured of the thermal diffusion layer and the in-groove diffusion layer. The thermal diffusion layer is formed shallowly by forming the in-groove diffusion layer. It is possible to considerably reduce thermal diffusion time. By carrying out an ion implantation forming the in-groove diffusion layer and an ion implantation forming a collector layer separately, it is possible to select an optimum value for tradeoff between turn-on voltage and switching loss, while ensuring reverse blocking voltage of the reverse blocking IGBT.
