Methode zur Herstellung von Gräben in einem Halbleiterbauelement

摘要

There is disclosed a method of fabricating a semiconductor device which includes the steps of forming a trench (4), and repeating the formation and removal of an oxide film (a sacrificial oxide film) twice to provide a rounded configuration (5b) of an opening portion of the trench (4) and a rounded configuration (6b) of a bottom thereof and to draw defects in a semiconductor layer into a silicon oxide film (8), reducing the defects adjacent the inner wall of the trench (4), whereby electric field concentration on a gate is prevented and the mobility of carriers in channels is improved for an improvement in characteristic, particularly an on-state voltage, of a power device.
