Abstract
This invention has a cell incorporating a built-in Schottky diode region disposed in at least part of an elementary cell that constitutes an SiC vertical MOSFET provided in a low-density p-type deposit film with a channel region and a base region inverted to an n-type by ion implantation. This built-in Schottky diode region has built therein a Schottky diode of low on-resistance that is formed of a second deficient pan disposed in a high-density gate layer, a second n-type base layer penetrating a low-density p-type deposit layer formed thereon, reaching an n-type drift layer of the second deficient part and attaining its own formation in consequence of inversion of the p-type deposit layer into an n-type by the ion implantation of an n-type impurity from the surface, and a source electrode connected in the manner of forming a Schottky barrier to the surface-exposed part of the second n-type base layer.
