Method of manufacturing semiconductor device

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of realizing a high yield of a large-scale semiconductor device even when a silicon carbide semiconductor including a defect is used is provided. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: a step of epitaxially growing a silicon carbide semiconductor layer on a silicon carbide semiconductor substrate; a step of polishing a surface of the silicon carbide semiconductor layer; a step of ion-implanting impurities into the silicon carbide semiconductor layer after the step of polishing; a step of performing heat treatment to activate the impurities; a step of forming a first thermal oxide film on the surface of the silicon carbide semiconductor layer after the step of performing heat treatment; a step of chemically removing the first thermal oxide film; and a step of forming an electrode layer on the silicon carbide semiconductor film.
