Abstract
On a silicon carbide semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, a first semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type, a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type, first semiconductor regions of the first conductivity type, second semiconductor regions of the second conductivity type, a gate insulating film, gate electrodes, an interlayer insulating film, first electrodes, and a second electrode are formed. Each of the first electrodes are formed by depositing a lower Ni film, an Al film, and an upper Ni film and etching the films to be apart from the interlayer insulating film; sintering the lower Ni film by a heat treatment and thereby forming a Ni silicide film; depositing a Ti film, a TiN film, and an AlSi film; and etching the AlSi film.
