Patent attributes
A disclosed semiconductor device provided with a power MOSFET includes: a semiconductor substrate constituting a drain; a trench formed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate; a gate electrode in the trench; a body diffusion layer on a surface side of the semiconductor substrate, the body diffusion layer being positioned adjacently to the trench and formed shallower than the trench; a source diffusion layer on the surface of the semiconductor substrate; a first interlayer insulating film formed on the gate electrode; and a source electrode film made of a metallic material and formed on the semiconductor substrate. A top surface of the gate electrode and a top surface of the first interlayer insulating film are formed in a recessed manner in the trench relative to the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a surface portion of the semiconductor substrate for the trench is formed into a tapered shape.
