Abstract

A silicon carbide semiconductor device includes a substrate, a drift layer located on a first surface of the substrate, a base region located on the drift layer, a source region located on the base region, a trench penetrating the source region and the base region to the drift layer, a channel layer located in the trench, a gate insulating layer located on the channel layer, a gate electrode located on the gate insulating layer, a source electrode electrically coupled with the source region and the base region, a drain electrode located on a second surface of the substrate, and a deep layer. The deep layer is located under the base region, extends to a depth deeper than the trench and is formed along an approximately normal direction to a sidewall of the trench.
