Abstract
A technology is provided to reduce ON-resistance, and the prevention of punch through is achieved with respect to a trench gate type power MISFET. Input capacitance and a feedback capacitance are reduced by forming a groove in which a gate electrode is formed so as to have a depth as shallow as about 1 μm or less, a p− type semiconductor region is formed to a depth so as not to cover the bottom of the groove, and a p-type semiconductor region higher in impurity concentration than the p−type semiconductor region is formed under a n+type semiconductor region serving as a source region of the trench gate type power MISFET, causing the p-type semiconductor region to serve as a punch-through stopper layer of the trench gate type power MISFET.
