Abstract

A method of manufacturing a switching element is provided. The method including: preparing a semiconductor substrate which includes an n-type drain region, a p-type body region, and a trench penetrating the body region and reaching the drain region; and forming a lateral surface p-type region extending along a lateral surface of the trench below the body region by heating the semiconductor substrate so as to make a part of the body region flow into the trench. The switching element includes: a gate insulating layer covering an inner surface of the trench; a bottom p-type region in contact with the gate insulating layer at a bottom surface of the trench and connected to the lateral surface p-type region; an n-type source region; and a gate electrode provided in the trench.
