A method for producing a semiconductor device includes forming a first hetero-semiconductor layer as a hetero-junction to a surface of a silicon carbide epitaxial layer. This layer is composed of polycrystalline silicon having a band gap different from that of the silicon carbide epitaxial layer. An etching stopper layer composed of a material having a different etching rate from that of the polycrystalline silicon is formed on the surface of the first hetero-semiconductor layer. A second hetero-semiconductor layer composed of polycrystalline silicon is formed so that the second hetero-semiconductor layer contacts the surface of the first hetero-semiconductor layer and the etching stopper layer. The etching stopper layer is removed, the first hetero-semiconductor layer is thermally oxidized, and the thermally oxidized portion is then removed.
