Abstract: A p base ohmic contact of a silicon carbide semiconductor device consists of a p++ layer formed by high-concentration ion implantation and a metal electrode. Since the high-concentration ion implantation performed at the room temperature significantly degrades the crystal of the p++ layer to cause a process failure, a method for implantation at high temperatures is used. In terms of switching loss and the like of devices, it is desirable that the resistivity of the p base ohmic contact should be lower. In well-known techniques, nothing is mentioned on a detailed relation among the ion implantation temperature, the ohmic contact resistivity and the process failure. Then, in the ion implantation step, the temperature of a silicon carbide wafer is maintained in a range from 175° C. to 300° C., more preferably in a range from 175° C. to 200° C. The resistivity of the p base ohmic contact using a p++ region formed by ion implantation at a temperature in a range from 175° C. to 300° C.
