forming a body region inside the semiconductor layer after forming the silicate glass film; and
forming a source region on the body region.
2. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the silicate glass film is formed by etching back to expose the surface of the semiconductor layer after covering the surface of the semiconductor layer and the inside of the trench by the silicate glass.
3. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the thermally-oxidized film includes a thermally-oxidized film of polysilicon composing the gate electrode.
4. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the thermally-oxidized film of polysilicon is thicker than a thermally-oxidized film of single crystal silicon formed on the side wall of the trench.
5. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the silicate glass film comprises at least one of BPSG and NSG.
6. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the source region is divided by a body contact region in the longitudinal direction of each area surrounded by the trench.
7. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a source electrode is formed on a surface of the source region and the silicate glass film.
8. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when the silicate glass film is formed inside the trench, the silicate glass film is formed on the semiconductor layer, then the silicate glass film is etched back to expose the semiconductor layer and leave the silicate glass film in the trench.
