Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is presented. The device has: a gate terminal formed from polysilicon and covered by an insulation layer; and a plug extending through an insulation layer to provide an electrical connection to the gate trench. A metal layer is deposited to cover at least a portion of the insulation layer. The metal layer is then etched to remove the metal layer from above the plug.
