Abstract
Abstract Semiconductor devices having a reduced parasitic capacitance while having a maximum acceptable current similar to those of prior devices, and a method of manufacturing thereof are disclosed. The inventive device has a hole at the bottom of which an insulating film separated from the hole walls is located, a semiconductor film being present in the hole, which is connected to the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the insulating film and a conductor film constituting a portion of the hole wall, and extends onto the insulating film so as to cover at least part of the film.
