Abstract
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a body region is formed in an epitaxial layer provided on a semiconductor substrate. A part of a semiconductor material forming the body region surface is removed to form a convex-type contact region protruding from the body region surface and to form a shallow trench surrounding the convex-type contact region. A deep trench region is formed so as to extend from the shallow trench surface to inside of the epitaxial layer. A gate insulating film is formed on an inner wall of the deep trench region which is filled with polycrystalline silicon that is held in contact with the gate insulating film. A source region and a body contact region are formed in the shallow trench and the convex-type contact region, respectively, and a silicide layer is formed to connect the source region and the body contact region to each other.
