Abstract

A first nickel film is deposited inside a contact hole of an interlayer dielectric formed on an n+-type SiC substrate. Irradiation with a first laser is carried out, forming an Ohmic contact with a silicon carbide semiconductor. A second nickel film and a front surface electrode film are deposited on the first nickel film, forming a source electrode. The back surface of the n+-type SiC substrate is ground, and a third nickel film is formed on the ground back surface of the n+-type SiC substrate. Irradiation with a second laser is carried out, forming an Ohmic contact with the silicon carbide semiconductor. A fourth nickel film and a back surface electrode film are deposited on the third nickel film, forming a drain electrode. By so doing, it is possible to prevent electrical characteristic deterioration of a semiconductor device, and to prevent warping and cracking of a wafer.
