Method of manufacturing semiconductor device

摘要

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising: forming a hetero semiconductor layer on at least the major surface of the semiconductor substrate body of a first conductivity type; etching the hetero semiconductor layer selectively by use of a mask layer having openings in way that the hetero semiconductor layer remains not etched with a predetermined thickness; oxidizing exposed parts of the hetero semiconductor layer; forming the hetero semiconductor region by etching an oxidized film formed in the oxidizing step; and forming the gate insulating film in a way that the gate insulating film makes an intimate contact with the hetero semiconductor region and the semiconductor substrate body. The bandgap of the hetero semiconductor layer is different from that of the semiconductor substrate body. The gate electrode is arranged in a junction part between the hetero semiconductor region and the semiconductor substrate body with the gate insulating film interposed between the gate electrode and the junction part.
