A silicon carbide semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate including first and second gate layers, a channel layer, a source layer, and a trench; a gate wiring having a first portion and a plurality of second portions; and a source wiring having a third portion and a plurality of fourth portions. The trench extends in a predetermined extending direction. The first portion connects to the first gate layer in the trench, and extends to the extending direction. The second portions protrude perpendicularly to be a comb shape. The third portion extends to the extending direction. The fourth portions protrude perpendicularly to be a comb shape, and electrically connect to the source layer. Each of the second portions connects to the second gate layer through a contact hole.

Silicon carbide semiconductor device

A silicon carbide semiconductor device includes a substrate and a junction field effect transistor. The transistor includes: a first semiconductor layer disposed on the substrate; a first gate layer disposed on a surface of the first semiconductor layer; a first channel layer adjacent to the first gate layer on the substrate; a first source layer connecting to the first channel layer electrically; a second gate layer adjacent to the first channel layer to sandwich the first channel layer; a second channel layer adjacent to the second gate layer to sandwich the second gate layer; a third gate layer adjacent to the second channel layer to sandwich the second channel layer; and a second source layer connecting to the second channel layer electrically.

Silicon carbide semiconductor device having junction field effect transistor and method for manufacturing the same

A semiconductor device includes a first field effect transistor including a source and a gate and disposed in a silicon carbide substrate; and a second field effect transistor including a drain and a gate and disposed in the substrate. The drain of the second field effect transistor connects to the source of the first field effect transistor.

Gate wiring layout for silicon-carbide-based junction field effect transistor

A silicon carbide semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate including a base substrate, a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer and a third semiconductor layer, which are laminated in this order; a cell portion disposed in the semiconductor substrate and providing an electric part forming portion; and a periphery portion surrounding the cell portion. The periphery portion includes a trench, which penetrates the second and the third semiconductor layers, reaches the first semiconductor layer, and surrounds the cell portion so that the second and the third semiconductor layers are divided by the trench substantially. The periphery portion further includes a fourth semiconductor layer disposed on an inner wall of the trench.
