Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a side wall spacer formed on the side surface of a gate electrode formed on the upper side of a semiconductor substrate with a gate insulation film therebetween, extension regions built up on the semiconductor substrate, and source/drain regions formed on the extension regions, wherein a first epitaxial layer is formed so as to fill up portions, cut out at the time of forming the side wall spacer, of the semiconductor substrate, and the extension regions are formed on the first epitaxial layer from a second epitaxial layer of a conduction type opposite to that of the first epitaxial layer.
Claims6
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:
- forming a gate electrode on an upper side of a semiconductor substrate, with a gate insulation film therebetween;
- forming side wall spacers positioned on opposite sides of said gate electrode;
- forming cut out portions positioned outside of said wall spacers and on opposite sides of said gate electrode;
- forming respective first epitaxial layers in said cut out portions such that surfaces of the respective first epitaxial layers are at substantially the same level as a surface of the semiconductor substrate;
- forming respective extension regions on said first epitaxial layers;
- and
- forming source/drain regions on said extension regions,
- wherein,
- said extension regions include respective second epitaxial layers positioned on said first epitaxial layers that have conductivity type opposite to that of said first epitaxial layers.
