An SiC semiconductor device includes an SiC semiconductor layer including an SiC monocrystal and having a first main surface as an element forming surface, a second main surface at a side opposite to the first main surface, and a plurality of side surfaces connecting the first main surface and the second main surface, and a plurality of modified lines formed one layer each at the respective side surfaces of the SiC semiconductor layer and each extending in a band shape along a tangential direction to the first main surface of the SiC semiconductor layer and modified to be of a property differing from the SiC monocrystal.

SiC semiconductor device

An SiC semiconductor device includes an SiC semiconductor layer including an SiC monocrystal that is constituted of a hexagonal crystal and having a first main surface as a device surface facing a c-plane of the SiC monocrystal and has an off angle inclined with respect to the c-plane, a second main surface at a side opposite to the first main surface, and a side surface facing an a-plane of the SiC monocrystal and has an angle less than the off angle with respect to a normal to the first main surface when the normal is 0°.

A semiconductor device includes an SiC semiconductor layer which has a first main surface on one side and a second main surface on the other side, a semiconductor element which is formed in the first main surface, a raised portion group which includes a plurality of raised portions formed at intervals from each other at the second main surface and has a first portion in which some of the raised portions among the plurality of raised portions overlap each other in a first direction view as viewed in a first direction which is one of the plane directions of the second main surface, and an electrode which is formed on the second main surface and connected to the raised portion group.
