Abstract
Semiconductor device including first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type at a surface of the first semiconductor layer, third semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type selectively provided at a surface of the second layer, and gate electrode embedded in a trench via a gate insulating film. The trench penetrates the second and third layers, and reaches the first layer. A thermal oxide film on the third layer has a thickness less than that of the gate insulating film. Also are an interlayer insulating film on the thermal oxide film, barrier metal on an inner surface of a contact hole selectively opened in the thermal oxide film and the interlayer insulating film, metal plug embedded in the contact hole on the barrier metal, and electrode electrically connected to the second and third layers via the barrier metal and the metal plug.
