Abstract
A power semiconductor device less prone to cause a reaction between a metal material for interconnection and an electrode or the like connected to a semiconductor region during the high-temperature operation thereof and less prone to be strained during the high-temperature operation thereof. The power semiconductor device can be an SiC power device or the like in which a first metal layer containing at least one selected from the group consisting of Pt, Ti, Mo, W and Ta is formed on a source electrode formed on the semiconductor region, such as a source region or the like. A second metal layer containing at least one selected from the group consisting of Mo, W and Cu is formed on the first metal layer. A third metal layer containing at least one selected from the group consisting of Pt, Mo and W is formed on the second metal layer.
