Abstract
A silicon carbide semiconductor device includes an active region, a first-conductivity-type region, and a termination region. The active region has first second-conductivity-type regions and first silicide films in trenches, second second-conductivity-type regions and a second silicide film between the trenches that are adjacent to one another, and a first electrode while the termination region has a third second-conductivity-type region. The active region includes ohmic regions, non-operating regions and Schottky regions, each of which has a stripe shape. Each ohmic region is a region where the first electrode is in contact with either the first silicide film or the second silicide film. Each non-operating region is a region where the first electrode is in contact with either the first or second second-conductivity-type regions. Each Schottky region is a region where the first electrode forms a Schottky barrier junction with the first-conductivity-type region.
