Patent ID: 7732861

Claim:
A trench MOS type silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor device comprising: a first conductivity type semiconductor substrate; a first conductivity type drift layer formed on the first conductivity type semiconductor substrate; a second conductivity type base layer formed on the first conductivity type drift layer; a first conductivity type source layer formed on the second conductivity type base layer, a stripe shaped trench reaching from the surface of the first conductivity type source layer to the first conductivity type drift layer; a second conductivity type layer formed on the bottom of the stripe shaped trench; a second conductivity type region formed on the second conductivity type layer and on across-the-width side walls of at least a first end of the stripe shaped trench, the second conductivity type region electrically coupling the second conductivity type layer with the second conductivity type base layer; and a gate oxide film formed in said trench with a gate electrode connected thereto.
