Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises the steps of (i) forming a SiC monocrystal layer over the entire surface of a semiconductor substrate; (ii) forming a boron ion implanted layer, which is substantially a thin film, by implanting a specified amount of boron ions in the surface region of the SiC monocrystal layer; and (iii) forming a high resistance SiC monocrystal layer of a thin film by subjecting the boron ion implanted layer to heat treatment; whereby the high resistance SiC monocrystal layer can be function at least as an electric insulating layer.
