Patent ID: 7795688

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a substrate; an insulation film on said substrate; on said substrate, a first conduction type MOS transistor having a gate electrode provided in a first trench formed in said insulation film on said substrate, and on said substrate, a second conduction type MOS transistor having a gate electrode provided in a second trench formed in said insulation film, said first conduction type and said second conduction type being opposite types, wherein, said first trench is lined first and fully with a gate insulation film, second with a first gate electrode material layer of said first conduction type MOS transistor, and third with a second gate electrode material layer of said second conduction type MOS transistor, said first gate electrode material layer and said second gate electrode material layer extend along at least a same part of a sidewall of said first trench, remaining space in said first trench is filled with an electrode metal layer, said first gate electrode material layer and said second gate electrode material layer are covered by said electrode metal layer in said first trench, said second trench is lined first and fully with the gate insulation film and second with said second gate electrode material layer of said second conduction type MOS transistor, remaining space in said second trench is filled with said electrode metal layer, said second gate electrode material layer is covered by said electrode metal layer in said second trench, and an upper surface of said device is a planarized surface that includes said first conduction type MOS transistor and said second conduction type MOS transistor, said first gate electrode material layer not being exposed at the planarized surface.
