Abstract

A switching device includes a semiconductor substrate; a trench; a conductor layer extending in a longitudinal direction of the trench so as to be in contact with a bottom surface of the trench; a bottom insulating layer covering an upper surface of the conductor layer; a gate insulating layer covering a side surface of the trench; and a gate electrode disposed in the trench. The semiconductor substrate includes a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type, a body region of a second conductivity type, a second semiconductor region of the first conductivity type, a bottom semiconductor region of the second conductivity type extending in the longitudinal direction so as to be in contact with the conductor layer, and a connection semiconductor region of the second conductivity type connected to the body region and to the bottom semiconductor region.
