In order to prevent an etch-down phenomenon in a gate electrode (106), a source electrode (108) is connected to an upper major surface of a semiconductor substrate (160) through openings (112, 112a) of a protective film (107), while a gate wire (109) is connected to the gate electrode (106) through an opening (111). The opening (112, 112a) are formed by dry etching, whereby the source electrode (108) is reliably insulated from the gate electrode (106). On the other hand, the opening (111) is formed by wet etching, whereby the gate electrode (106) is not etched down. Thus, it is possible to prevent short-circuiting defectiveness across the gate electrode (106) and the semiconductor substrate (160) resulting from an etch-down phenomenon of the gate electrode (106) while guaranteeing electrical insulation between the gate electrode (106) and the source electrode (108).

The present invention relates to an insulated gate semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly to an improvement for enhancing a gate breakdown voltage. In order to achieve the object, gate wirings (9), (10) and (13) are provided to keep away from an upper end (UE) of an edge of a gate trench (6) along its longitudinal direction. More specifically, the gate wiring (9) coupled integrally with an upper surface of a gate electrode (7) is formed apart from the upper end (UE) and the gate wiring (10) is formed on an insulating film (4) also apart from the upper end (UE). The two gate wirings (9) and (10) are connected to each other through the gate wiring (13) formed on a BPSG layer (11). Moreover, an upper face of the gate electrode (7) is positioned on the same level as an upper main surface of a semiconductor substrate (90) or therebelow in the vicinity of the upper end (UE). Consequently, a concentration of an electric field generated in insulating films (8) and (17) covering the upper end (UE) can be relieved or eliminated.

An insulator film provided on a region for arranging a Zener diode has a plurality of groove portions successively arranged in a direction D1 of extension of each semiconductor region forming the diode. Each groove potion extends in a width direction D2 of each semiconductor region, and has a depth T3. Each semiconductor region is arranged on the upper surface of the insulator film. Therefore, it follows that each semiconductor region has a plurality of irregular shapes arranged in the direction D1 of extension and the Zener diode has a peripheral length not only in the transverse direction D1 but also in a vertical direction D3, so that a p-n junction area in the Zener diode is increased. Thus, parasitic resistance of an input protection Zener diode is reduced for improving a gate insulator film protective function of the diode.
