Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device has the steps of forming at least one groove in a semiconductor substrate having at least one well in a surface region thereof, forming an insulating film on the overall surface of the semiconductor substrate including an inner surface of the groove, selectively etching the insulating film so as to leave the insulating film in the groove, and burying a conductive material in the groove whose inner surface is covered with the remaining insulating film so as to form a conductive layer which is connected to at least one member selected from the group consisting of the well and the semiconductor substrate, and to a power supply.
