  • Patent number: 9391183
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is disclosed that comprises semiconductor regions and an insulating film. A groove extends from a top surface of a semiconductor region and reaching a semiconductor region. In plan view, a body of a bottom electrode is formed in a strip form, and extends in an extending direction of the groove, and the connection portion extends in a depth direction of the groove and is connected to an end of the body in the extending direction of the body. The body of the bottom electrode is arranged in the groove, and the connection portion of the bottom electrode is arranged in the connection groove. In plan view, a length of the groove in the extending direction of the groove is larger than a width of the groove, and the width of the groove is larger than a gap between the groove and an adjacent groove.
