A silicon carbide semiconductor device includes trenches formed in a lattice shape on the surface of a silicon carbide substrate on which a semiconductor layer is formed, and gate electrodes formed inside of the trenches via a gate insulating film. The depth of the trenches is smaller in a portion where the trenches are crossingly formed than in a portion where the trenches are formed in parallel to each other. Consequently, the silicon carbide semiconductor device is obtained that increases a withstand voltage between the gate electrodes and corresponding drain electrodes on the semiconductor device rear surface to prevent dielectric breakdown and, at the same time, has a large area of the gate electrodes, high channel density per unit area, and low ON resistance. |
