Method for manufacturing semiconductor device, and semiconductor device

Abstract

In a transistor region, a source interconnect layer and a gate electrode are buried in trenches. A source extending region is provided adjacent to the transistor region or in the transistor region, and a source interconnect layer is designed to protrude from the upper end of a trench. This source interconnect layer is connected to a source electrode formed in the transistor region immediately above the trench. A gate extending region is provided outside the source extending region, and the gate electrode and a gate interconnect layer are connected. The gate electrode is formed by performing etchback without forming a resist pattern, after a polysilicon film is formed. Here, the polysilicon film remains like a side-wall on the sidewall of the portion of the source interconnect layer protruding from the upper end of the trench.
