In particular, it relates to a power semiconductor device made of silicon carbide for high withstand voltage and high current. Background technique [0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) is a high-hardness semiconductor material with a larger energy bandgap than silicon (Si), and can be used in various semiconductor devices such as power devices, anti-environmental devices, high-temperature operating devices, and high-frequency devices. Among them, application to power elements such as switching elements and rectifying elements is of interest. Compared with Si power elements, power elements using SiC have advantages such as significantly reduced power loss. [0003] Typical switching elements among power elements using SiC are MOSFETs. In such a switching element, the voltage applied to the gate electrode can be switched between an on state in which a drain curr...
