Abstract

A vertical MOSFET includes a trench whose inner surface is covered with an insulating layer having a multilayer structure. In order to reduce a change in a gate threshold voltage, and equivalent silicon dioxide thickness of the gate insulating layer and a radius of curvature of an upper corner of the trench are provided such that a dielectric breakdown electric field strength of the gate insulating layer at the upper corner is in the range of 2.5 MV/cm to 5.0 MV/cm.
