Abstract

In order to provide a high-performance and reliable silicon carbide semiconductor device, in a silicon carbide semiconductor device including an n-type SiC epitaxial substrate, a p-type body layer, a p-type body layer potential fixing region and a nitrogen-introduced n-type first source region formed in the p-type body layer, an n-type second source region to which phosphorus which has a solid-solubility limit higher than that of nitrogen and is easily diffused is introduced is formed inside the nitrogen-introduced n-type first source region so as to be separated from both of the p-type body layer and the p-type body layer potential fixing region.
