Abstract

A Schottky diode includes a semiconductor substrate made of 4H—SiC, an epitaxially grown 4H—SiC layer, an ion implantation layer, a Schottky electrode, an ohmic electrode, and an insulative layer made of a thermal oxide film. The Schottky electrode and the insulative layer are not in contact with each other, with a gap being provided therebetween, whereby an altered layer does not occur. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a leak current.
