Abstract

A method of manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device includes grinding a back surface of a semiconductor substrate formed of silicon carbide to reduce thickness thereof and provide an altered layer that is ground; removing by polishing or etching, the altered layer from the back surface; forming a nickel film on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate after removing the altered layer; heat treating the nickel film to forming a nickel silicide layer by silicidation; and forming a metal electrode on a surface of the nickel silicide layer.
