A silicon carbide semiconductor device includes: a pair of first well regions separated by distance W1 in surface layer portions of a silicon carbide drift layer and having p-type impurity concentration higher than n-type impurity concentration of the silicon carbide drift layer; a pair of second well regions provided adjacent to bottom faces of the first well regions, separated by distance W2 larger than the distance W1 by 0.8 μm or more, and having p-type impurity concentration higher than n-type impurity concentration of the silicon carbide drift layer from 1.1 times to 4.2 times lower than the first well regions; and a highly concentrated JFET region provided between the pair of first well regions and between the pair of second well regions and having n-type impurity concentration higher than that of the silicon carbide drift layer and lower than p-type impurity concentration or the second well regions.
