A semiconductor device and a fabrication method thereof which can, for example, prevent a punch-through from occurring by forming oxide spacers around source/drain regions in a semiconductor substrate instead of forming a conventional halo ion implanting layer. Such structure improves, for example, an operational speed by reducing junction capacitance, prevents a hot carrier effect from occurring by weakening an electric field around the drain region, and improves reliability by preventing a latch up from occurring. The semiconductor device includes a gate electrode formed on the semiconductor substrate, sidewall spacers formed at the sidewalls of the gate electrode, an impurity layer formed in the semiconductor substrate below each sidewall spacer, a trench formed in the semiconductor substrate at both sides of the gate electrode, oxide spacers formed at the bottom inside corner of each trench, and a conductive material filling up each trench.
