A semiconductor device improves the gate withstand voltage of vertical MOSFETs and raises their operation speed. The gate electrode is formed in the trench of the second semiconductor layer. The interlayer dielectric layer has the contact hole that exposes the connection portion of the gate electrode, where the connection portion is located in the trench. The conductive plug is filled in the contact hole of the interlayer dielectric layer in such a way as to contact the connection portion of the gate electrode. The wiring layer is formed on the interlayer dielectric layer in such a way as to contact the plug, resulting in the wiring layer electrically connected to the connection portion by way of the plug. There is no need to form a connection portion for the gate electrode outside of the trench, which means that the gate dielectric does not include a weak or thinner portion where dielectric breakdown is likely to occur.
