Abstract
A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor substrate having a recess whose depth is not more than 6 nm, a source region and a drain region which are formed in a surface region of the semiconductor substrate so as to sandwich the recess, each of the source region and the drain region being constituted of an extension region and a contact junction region, a gate insulating film formed between the source region and the drain region in the semiconductor substrate, and a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:
- forming a dummy gate insulating film on a semiconductor substrate, and forming a dummy gate electrode on the dummy gate insulating film;
- carrying out ion implantation of an impurity into a surface region of the semiconductor substrate by using the dummy gate insulating film and the dummy gate electrode as a mask, and forming an extension region;
- forming a gate sidewall insulating film on side faces of the dummy gate insulating film and the dummy gate electrode;
- doping the impurity into a surface region of the semiconductor substrate by using the dummy gate insulating film, the dummy gate electrode and the gate sidewall insulating film as a mask to form a contact junction region, and forming a source region and a drain region which are constituted of the contact junction region and the extension region;
- forming an interlayer insulating film on the semiconductor substrate so as to cover the dummy gate insulating film, the dummy gate electrode, and the gate sidewall insulating film;
- polishing the interlayer insulating film until a surface of the dummy gate electrode is exposed, and planarizing the surface;
- removing selectively the dummy gate insulating film and the dummy gate electrode to form a gate opening region in the interlayer insulating film;
- forming a recess on the surface region of the semiconductor substrate by oxidizing the surface of the semiconductor substrate which is exposed on a bottom portion of the gate opening region and by removing selectively the oxidized part;
- insulating the surface of the recess in a bottom surface of the gate opening region to form a gate insulating film;
- and
- burying a gate electrode material in the gate opening region to form a gate electrode.
