SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE INCLUDING MOS FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

摘要

Element isolation regions are formed in a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. A gate insulator is formed on the semiconductor substrate between the element isolation regions. A gate electrode is formed on the gate insulator. Sidewall insulating films are formed on side surfaces of the gate electrode. Trenches are formed on the semiconductor substrate between the element isolation regions and the gate electrode. A first epitaxial semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type is formed by the epitaxial growth method in each of the trenches. The first epitaxial semiconductor layer has a facet. A silicide film is formed on the first epitaxial semiconductor layer. A semiconductor region of the second conductivity type is formed in the semiconductor substrate under the first epitaxial semiconductor layer.
