Abstract
A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor chip and a mounting substrate. The semiconductor chip has an element structure including: a silicon carbide substrate that has a hexagonal crystal structure; a gate electrode that is disposed on a part above a first surface corresponding to a (0001) plane or a (000-1) plane of the silicon carbide substrate; an insulating film that is interposed between the silicon carbide substrate and the gate electrode; and a source and a drain that are disposed with respect to the silicon carbide substrate and the gate electrode such that at least a part of a channel through which a carrier moves extends in a <1-100> direction of crystal orientation of the silicon carbide substrate. The mounting substrate is fixed with the semiconductor chip such that compressive stress in a <11-20> direction of crystal orientation of the silicon carbide substrate is applied to the semiconductor chip at least in operation.
