Method for manufacturing a semiconductor device and semiconductor device

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method comprises the steps of providing a semiconductor body, forming a trench in the semiconductor body in a vertical direction which is perpendicular to the main plane of extension of the semiconductor body, and coating inner walls of the trench with an isolation layer. The method further comprises the steps of coating the isolation layer at the inner walls with a metallization layer, coating a top side of the semiconductor body, at which the trench is formed, at least partially with an electrically conductive contact layer, where the contact layer is electrically connected with the metallization layer, coating the top side of the semiconductor body at least partially and the trench with a capping layer, and forming a contact pad at the top side of the semiconductor body by removing the contact layer and the capping layer at least partially. Furthermore, a semiconductor device is provided.
