Abstract

A power semiconductor device having a trench gate structure in which it is possible to reduce the number of required masks and to improve its characteristics, and a method for manufacturing the same, includes a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor region of a first conductive type formed on the semiconductor substrate. A source region of a second conductive type is formed on the semiconductor region. A trench is formed to pass through the source region and the semiconductor region of the first conductive layer. A first conductive layer formed to be insulated from the semiconductor substrate by interposing a gate insulating film, and a gate formed of a second conductive layer surrounded by the first conductive layer are formed in the trench. An interlayer dielectric film is formed on the semiconductor substrate. A gate electrode is formed connected to the gate through a contact hole formed in the interlayer dielectric film. A source electrode is formed connected to the source region through a second contact hole formed in the interlayer dielectric film.
