Abstract

A method of making a semiconductor device includes providing an insulating layer containing a plurality of openings, forming a first conductivity type semiconductor layer in the plurality of openings, forming a second conductivity type semiconductor layer over the first conductivity type semiconductor layer in the plurality of openings, and selectively etching the second conductivity type semiconductor layer using an upper surface of the first conductivity type semiconductor layer as a stop to form a recess in the plurality of openings.
