A silicon carbide semiconductor device includes an element region and a guard ring region. A semiconductor element is provided in the element region. The guard ring region surrounds the element region in a plan view and has a first conductivity type. The semiconductor element includes a drift region having a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type. The guard ring region includes a linear region and a curvature region continuously connected to the linear region. A value obtained by dividing a radius of curvature of an inner circumference portion of the curvature region by a thickness of the drift region is not less than 5 and not more than 10. Accordingly, there can be provided a silicon carbide semiconductor device capable of improving a breakdown voltage while suppressing decrease of on-state current.
