Abstract
A silicon carbide semiconductor device, including a semiconductor substrate having an active region and a termination region that surrounds the active region in a top view, a first parallel pn layer provided in the semiconductor substrate in the active region, a second parallel pn layer provided in the semiconductor substrate in the termination region, a device structure provided in the active region, a first electrode electrically connected to the device structure, a second electrode, a first semiconductor region selectively provided in the termination region, and a second semiconductor region provided between the second parallel pn layer and the first semiconductor region, and in contact with the first semiconductor region. The second parallel pn layer is provided apart from the first semiconductor region, at a position deeper than the first semiconductor region and closer to an end of the semiconductor substrate than an outer end of the first semiconductor region.
