Patent ID: 8766278

Claim:
A silicon carbide semiconductor device, comprising: a silicon carbide substrate including (1) a first layer having a first conductivity type, (2) a second layer provided on said first layer and having a second conductivity type different from said first conductivity type, (3) a JFET portion, and (4) a MOSFET portion, said silicon carbide substrate having first to fifth impurity regions, each of said first, second, fourth, and fifth impurity regions having said first conductivity type and said third impurity region having said second conductivity type, each of said first to third impurity regions being in said JFET portion and penetrating said second layer and reaching said first layer, said third impurity region being arranged between said first and second impurity regions, each of said fourth and fifth impurity regions being in said MOSFET portion and being provided on said second layer; first to fifth electrodes provided on said first to fifth impurity regions, respectively, said first electrode in said JFET portion and said fifth electrode in said MOSFET portion being electrically connected with each other, said third electrode in said JFET portion and said fourth electrode in said MOSFET portion being electrically connected with each other; a gate insulating film covering a portion between said fourth and fifth impurity regions on said second layer; and a sixth electrode provided on said gate insulating film.
