1. A vertical gate semiconductor device, comprising:
a first conductivity type drain region formed on a substrate;
a second conductivity type first body region provided on the drain region;
a trench formed so as to pass through the first body region;
a gate electrode formed in the trench with a gate insulting film interposed so as to form a recessed portion at an upper part of the trench;
an insulating film formed on the gate electrode so as to occupy the recessed portion partway;
a first conductivity type source region formed in at least a region of an upper part of the first body region which serves as a wall part of the trench so as to overlap in level with at least an upper part of the gate electrode;
a second conductivity type second body region formed in a region of the upper part of the first body region other than the at least region thereof so as to be adjacent to the source region in a direction that the trench extends;
a second conductivity type third body region formed in respective upper parts of the source region and the second body region; and
a wiring layer in contact with the source region, the second body region, and the third body region.
