Silicon carbide semiconductor element

摘要

This silicon carbide semiconductor element includes: a body region of a second conductivity type which is located on a drift layer of a first conductivity type; an impurity region of the first conductivity type which is located on the body region; a trench which runs through the body region and the impurity region to reach the drift layer; a gate insulating film which is arranged on surfaces of the trench; and a gate electrode which is arranged on the gate insulating film. The surfaces of the trench include a first side surface and a second side surface which is opposed to the first side surface. The concentration of a dopant of the second conductivity type is higher at least locally in a portion of the body region which is located beside the first side surface than in another portion of the body region which is located beside the second side surface.
