Abstract
An interlayer insulating film covers a gate electrode and a gate insulating film embedded in a trench. A source electrode includes a first TiN film, a NiSi film, a Ti film, a second TiN film, and an Al alloy film. The first TiN film covers a part of the interlayer insulating film so as to not contact a semiconductor substrate at a bottom of a contact hole. The NiSi film forms an ohmic contact with the semiconductor substrate in the contact hole. The Ti film, the second TiN film, and the Al alloy film are sequentially stacked on surfaces of the first TiN film and the NiSi film, spanning a front surface of the semiconductor substrate, from on the interlayer insulating film. A terminal pin is soldered to the source electrode, in an upright position orthogonal to the front surface of the semiconductor substrate.
