Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we proposed a new structure (termination structure) suitable for diamond materials and its design method, and prototyped the device. We compared the characteristics of materials such as silicon, GaN, and SiC and the device structure, and theoretically confirmed the superiority of withstand voltage of 10 kV or more. In addition, as a new method for activating impurities at room temperature, a method of applying a low voltage to the junction structure was investigated. In order to build a prototype environment that takes safety into consideration, the impurity gas system was changed to a trimethyl gas system. In addition, separate film deposition machines were introduced for three types of semiconductor layers, P-type, N-type, and intrinsic semiconductor. A device was prototyped by crystal film formation in the above environment, and electrical characteristics was obtained.
