Abstract
A semiconductor device which comprises a semiconductor substrate, semiconductor pillar regions each having first and second semiconductor pillar portions, the second semiconductor pillar portion being sandwiched by the first semiconductor pillar portions, a base layer formed in the second semiconductor pillar portion, a source diffusion layer formed in the base layer, a gate insulating film formed on a portion of the base layer, a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film, and isolation regions which isolates the semiconductor pillar regions from each other and are formed in trenches between the semiconductor pillar regions, wherein each of the isolation regions comprises an oxide film formed on an inner surface of the trench and a nitride film formed on the oxide film, the nitride film being filled in the trench, and a film thickness ratio of the oxide film and the nitride film is in a range of 2:1 to 5:1.
