Abstract

In a method of manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device including a vertical switching element having a trench gate structure, with the use of a substrate having an off angle with respect to a (0001) plane or a (000-1) plane, a trench is formed from a surface of a source region to a depth reaching a drift layer through a base region so that a side wall surface of the trench faces a (11-20) plane or a (1-100) plane, and a gate oxide film is formed without performing sacrificial oxidation after formation of the trench.
