Abstract
A method for manufacturing a MOSFET semiconductor device includes providing a wafer including a semiconductor body having a first side, a first semiconductor region adjacent to the first side, a second semiconductor region adjacent to the first side and forming a first pn-junction with the first semiconductor region, and a third semiconductor region adjacent to the first side and forming a second pn-junction with the second semiconductor region, a first dielectric layer arranged on the first side, a gate electrode embedded in the first dielectric layer, and a second dielectric layer arranged on the first dielectric layer. Next to the gate electrode, a trench is formed through the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer. At a side wall of the trench, a dielectric spacer is formed. The trench is extended into the semiconductor body to form a contact trench.
