A method for manufacturing an electronic device includes forming, at a front side of a solid body of 4H-SiC having a first electrical conductivity, at least one implanted region having a second electrical conductivity opposite to the first electrical conductivity; forming, on the front side, a 3C-SiC layer; and forming, in the 3C-SiC layer, an ohmic contact region which extends through the entire thickness of the 3C-SiC layer, up to reaching the implanted region. A silicon layer may be present on the 3C-SiC layer; in this case, the ohmic contact also extends through the silicon layer.
