Abstract

A silicon carbide semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a drift layer; a current dispersion layer; a base region; a source region; trenches; a gate insulation film; a gate electrode; a source electrode; a drain electrode; and a bottom layer. The current dispersion layer is arranged on the drift layer, and has a first conductive type with an impurity concentration higher than the drift layer. The bottom layer has a second conductive type, is arranged under the base region, covers a bottom of each trench including a corner portion of the bottom of the trench, and has a depth equal to or deeper than the current dispersion layer.
