Abstract
In order to fabricate a semiconductor device, a semiconductor substrate in a peripheral region is etched to form a plurality of holes. A gap-filling material is buried in the holes of the semiconductor substrate in the peripheral region, and first and second device isolation films are formed in the semiconductor device. A fin structure is formed by recessing the gap-filling material, and a gate is formed over a surface including the fin structure. As a result, operation characteristics of transistors formed in the peripheral region are improved and the short channel effects are also reduced.
