Abstract

In a method for manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device having a JFET, a trench is formed in a semiconductor substrate, and a channel layer and a second gate region are formed on an inner wall of the trench. The channel layer and the second gate region are planarized to expose a source region. A first recess deeper than a thickness of the source region is formed on both leading ends of the trench, and an activation annealing process of 1300° C. or higher is conducted in an inert gas atmosphere. A first conductivity type layer formed by the annealing process to cover a corner which is a boundary between a bottom and a side of the first recess is removed.
