Abstract

In a method of manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device having a JFET, after forming a second concave portion configuring a second mesa portion, a thickness of a source region is detected by observing a pn junction between the source region and a first gate region exposed by the second concave portion. Selective etching is conducted on the basis of the detection result to form a first concave portion deeper than the thickness of the source region and configuring a first mesa portion inside of an outer peripheral region in an outer periphery of a cell region, and to make the second concave portion deeper than the second gate region.
