Abstract
The silicon carbide substrate includes a first impurity region, a second impurity region, and a third impurity region. The first impurity region includes: a first region in contact with the second impurity region; a second region that is in contact with the first region, that is located opposite to the second impurity region when viewed from the first region, and that has an impurity concentration higher than an impurity concentration of the first region; and a third region that is in contact with the second region, that is located opposite to the first region when viewed from the second region, and that has an impurity concentration lower than the impurity concentration of the second region. The gate insulating film is in contact with the first region, the second impurity region, and the third impurity region at a side portion of a trench.
