Semiconductor device with LDD structure and process of manufacturing the same

摘要

A semiconductor device comprises: gate electrode formed on a semiconductor substrate through the intervention of a gate insulating film; and a source/drain region provided with a silicide film on its surface and formed in the semiconductor substrate, wherein the source/drain region has an LDD region whose surface is partially or entirely tapered and an interface between the semiconductor substrate and the silicide film in the source/drain region is located higher than a surface of the semiconductor substrate below the gate electrode.
