Abstract

A silicon carbide semiconductor device includes a silicon carbide substrate and a gate insulating film. The silicon carbide substrate has a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface. The gate insulating film is provided on the first main surface. The silicon carbide substrate includes a first body region having p type, a second body region having p type, and a JFET region provided between the first body region and the second body region and having n type. The JFET region has both a first impurity capable of providing the p type and a second impurity capable of providing the n type. A concentration of the second impurity is higher than a concentration of the first impurity. The silicon carbide semiconductor device capable of suppressing dielectric breakdown of the gate insulating film is provided.
