Abstract

A silicon carbide semiconductor device and method of manufacture thereof is made by providing a channel control zone which has impurity concentration distribution increased gradually from a first doping boundary to reach a maximum value between the first doping boundary and a second doping boundary, then decreased gradually toward the second doping boundary, so that the silicon carbide semiconductor device is formed with a lower conduction resistance and increased drain current without sacrificing threshold voltage.
