Abstract

A method for manufacturing a SiC semiconductor device includes: preparing a SiC substrate having a (11-20)-orientation surface; forming a drift layer on the substrate; forming a base region in the drift layer; forming a first conductivity type region in the base region; forming a channel region on the base region to couple between the drift layer and the first conductivity type region; forming a gate insulating film on the channel region; forming a gate electrode on the gate insulating film; forming a first electrode to electrically connect to the first conductivity type region; and forming a second electrode on a backside of the substrate. The device controls current between the first and second electrodes by controlling the channel region. The forming the base region includes epitaxially forming a lower part of the base region on the drift layer.
