Abstract

An n type semiconductor layer is formed over an n type semiconductor substrate made of silicon carbide, a p type impurity region is formed in the semiconductor layer, and an n type drain region and an n type source region are formed in the impurity region. A field insulating film having an opening that selectively opens a part of the impurity region located between the drain and source regions is formed over the impurity region and the drain and source regions. A gate insulating film is formed over the impurity region in the opening, and a gate electrode is formed on the gate insulating film. Here, a field relaxation layer having an impurity concentration higher than that of the impurity region is formed in at least a part of the impurity region located between the drain and source regions in plan view and located below the field insulating film.
