The present invention provides a novel semiconductor device for high breakdown voltage having no drift layer. The semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type which is either a p-type or an n-type conductivity type, a source portion arranged so as to be in contact with the first semiconductor layer and configured as a semiconductor portion of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, a source electrode arranged in ohmic contact with the source portion, a gate electrode arranged on at least one selected from surfaces of the first semiconductor layer via a gate insulating film interposed therebetween and capable of forming by an applied electric field, an inversion layer in a region of the first semiconductor layer near the surface of the first semiconductor layer contacting the gate insulating film, a second semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type arranged so as to be in contact with the inversion layer, and a drain electrode separated from the inversion layer and arranged in Schottky contact with the second semiconductor layer.

Method for manufacturing diamond substrate

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a diamond substrate, including: a first step of preparing patterned diamond on a foundation surface, a second step of removing a foreign substance adhered on a wall of the patterned diamond prepared in the first step, and a third step of growing diamond from the patterned diamond prepared in the first step to form the diamond in a pattern gap of the patterned diamond prepared in the first step. There can be provided a method for manufacturing a diamond substrate with few dislocation defects, in which generation of abnormal growth particles are suppressed.

A semiconductor device includes a MISFET having: a diamond substrate; a drift layer having a first layer with a first density for providing a hopping conduction and a second layer with a second density lower than the first density, and having a &#x3b4; dope structure; a body layer on the drift layer; a source region in an upper portion of the body layer; a gate insulation film on a surface of the body layer; a gate electrode on a surface of the gate insulation film; a first electrode electrically connected to the source region and a channel region; and a second electrode electrically connected to the diamond substrate. The MISFET flows current in the drift layer in a vertical direction, and the current flows between the first electrode and the second electrode.
