Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device includes a first and a second MIS transistor. The first and second MIS transistors include a first and a second gate electrode formed on a first and a second active region with a first and a second gate insulating film being formed therebetween, first and second sidewalls including a first and a second inner sidewall formed on side surfaces of the first and second gate electrodes and having an L-shaped cross-section, and first and second source/drain regions formed in the first and second active regions laterally outside the first and second sidewalls. The first source/drain regions include a silicon compound layer formed in trenches provided in the first active region and causes a first stress in a gate length direction of a channel region in the first active region. A width of the first inner sidewall is smaller than a width of the second inner sidewall.
