Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a trench formed in a surface of a semiconductor substrate. A conductor is embedded in the trench. A conductive layer is arranged adjacent to the trench on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Semiconductor elements, which include sources provided by one of the conductor and the conductive layer and drains provided by the other one of the conductor and the conductive layer, are formed in a semiconductor element formation region. A planar wiring layer is embedded in the semiconductor substrate under the entire semiconductor element formation region and connected to the conductor.
