Abstract
A SiC semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a drift layer on a first side of the substrate; a trench in the drift layer; a base region contacting a sidewall of the trench; a source region in an upper portion of the base region; a gate electrode in the trench via a gate insulation film; a source electrode on the source region; and a drain electrode on a second side of the substrate. The source region has multi-layered structure including a first layer and a second layer. The first layer as an upper layer contacts the source electrode with ohmic contact. The second layer as a lower layer has an impurity concentration, which is lower than an impurity concentration of the first layer.
