Abstract

A method for manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device includes the steps of: preparing a semiconductor substrate including a silicon carbide substrate and first to third semiconductor layers; forming a trench in a cell region of the semiconductor substrate; forming a fourth semiconductor layer in the trench; forming an oxide film in the trench such that a part of the fourth semiconductor layer on a sidewall of the trench is thermally oxidized; forming a gate electrode on the oxide film in the trench; forming a first electrode electrically connecting to the third semiconductor layer; and forming a first electrode electrically connecting to the silicon carbide substrate.
