We discuss the fermion mass hierarchy and flavor mixing in the fat brane scenario of a five dimensional SUSY theory. Assuming that the matter fields live in the bulk, their zero mode wave functions are Gaussians, and Higgs fields are localized on the brane, we find various simple types of the matter configurations generating the mass matrices consistent with experimental data. The sfermion mass spectrum is also discussed using the matter configurations found above. Which type of squark mass spectra (the degeneracy, the decoupling and the alignment) is realized depends on the relative locations of the SUSY breaking brane and the brane where Higgs fields are localized.
