METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SILICON CARBIDE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND SILICON CARBIDE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

摘要

A first layer of a first conductivity type made of silicon carbide is formed. A second layer of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type positioned on the first layer, and a third layer of the first conductivity type positioned on the second layer are formed. The step of forming second and third layers includes the steps of performing impurity ion implantation, and performing heat treatment for activating impurities implanted by the impurity ion implantation. After the step of performing heat treatment, a trench having a side wall penetrating the third layer and the second layer and having a bottom reaching the first layer is formed. A gate insulating film to cover the side wall of the trench is formed. As a result, a silicon carbide semiconductor device having a low ON resistance is provided.
