POWER SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing a power semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a silicon nitride film on a semiconductor substrate;
(b) after said step (a), forming a ring-shaped trench along a peripheral portion of said semiconductor substrate as a terminal structure of a cell region, and defining the inside of the ring as said cell region;
(c) forming a first silicon oxide film on an inner surface of said trench;
(d) after said step (c), forming a second silicon oxide film on an entire surface of said semiconductor substrate to bury said trench;
(e) planarizing said second silicon oxide film by using said silicon nitride film as a stopper; and
(f) removing said silicon nitride film, and then forming a third silicon oxide film in a region in which said silicon nitride film is removed.
