In a semiconductor device having SiC vertical trench MOSFETs, it is aimed to prevent the generation of large scattering in the channel resistance without largely increasing the average value of channel resistance. A 4H-SiC substrate having a major face thereof that is generally a {0001} face and having an off angle α. The trench is formed with the standard deviation σ in scattering of the angle formed by a trench side wall face and a substrate major face within a wafer face. By setting the designed value of the angle formed by the trench side wall face and the substrate major face at an any angle ranging from [(60 degrees)+2σ] to [(90 degrees)−tan−1 (0.87×tan α)−2σ] in forming the trench in the SiC substrate, a semiconductor device in which the angle formed by the trench side wall face and the substrate major face is 60 degrees or more but not more than [(90 degrees)−tan−1 (0.87×tan α)] can be obtained.

A silicon carbide semiconductor element and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed in which a low contact resistance is attained between an electrode film and a wiring conductor element, and the wiring conductor element is hardly detached from the electrode film. In the method, a nickel film and a nickel oxide film are laminated in this order on a surface of an n-type silicon carbide substrate or an n-type silicon carbide region of a silicon carbide substrate, followed by a heat treatment under a non-oxidizing condition. The heat treatment transforms a portion of the nickel film into a nickel silicide film. Then, the nickel oxide film is removed with hydrochloric acid solution, and subsequently, a nickel aluminum film and an aluminum film are laminated in this order on a surface of the nickel silicide film.

A semiconductor device and a method of forming thereof has a base body has a field stopping layer, a drift layer, a current spreading layer, a body region, and a source contact region layered in the order on a substrate. A trench that reaches the field stopping layer or the substrate is provided. A gate electrode is provided in the upper half section in the trench. In a section deeper than the position of the gate electrode in the trench, an insulator is buried that has a normal value of insulation breakdown electric field strength equal to or greater than the value of the insulation breakdown electric field strength of the semiconductor material of the base body. This inhibits short circuit between a gate and a drain due to insulation breakdown of an insulator film at the bottom of the trench to realize a high breakdown voltage in a semiconductor device using a semiconductor material such as SiC. The sidewall surfaces of the trench located below the gate electrode is inclined to form a trapezoidal profile.
