Heightening of breakdown voltage of a trench gate type power MISFET is
actualized without increasing the number of manufacturing steps. In the
manufacturing method of the semiconductor device according to the present
invention, p.sup.- type semiconductor region and p.sup.- type field
limiting rings are formed in a gate line area simultaneously in one
impurity ion implantation step so as to bring them into contact with a
groove having a gate extraction electrode formed therein. Upon formation,
supposing that the width of the gate extraction electrode disposed
outside the groove is CHSP, and the resistivity of the n.sup.- type
single crystal silicon layer 1B is .rho. (.OMEGA.cm) the CHSP is sets to
satisfy the following equation: CHSP.ltoreq.3.80+0.148.rho..
