A manufacturing method of a junction field effect transistor includes the steps of: (a) forming an n+-type source layer on a surface of an n−-type drift layer formed on an n+-type SiC substrate; (b) forming a plurality of shallow trenches disposed at predetermined intervals by etching the surface of the n−-type drift layer with a silicon oxide film formed on the n−-type drift layer used as a mask; (c) forming an n-type counter dope layer by doping the n−-type drift layer below each of the shallow trenches with nitrogen by using a vertical ion implantation method; (d) forming a sidewall spacer on each sidewall of the silicon oxide film and the shallow trenches; and (e) forming a p-type gate layer by doping the n−-type drift layer below each of shallow trenches with aluminum by using the vertical ion implantation method.
