The silicon carbide MOSFET device includes a gate oxide layer which is constituted by a first gate oxide layer and a second gate oxide layer. A thickness of the second gate oxide layer is larger than a thickness of the first gate oxide layer. Through dividing the gate oxide layer into two parts with different thicknesses, i.e., enabling the gate oxide layer to have a staircase shape, an electric field strength of the gate oxide layer can be effectively reduced, while a threshold voltage and a gate control property of the device are not affected. An on-resistance of the device can be reduced through increasing a width of a JFET region. A method for manufacturing the silicon carbide MOSFET device is further disclosed.
