The object of the present invention is to suppress a short channel effect on a threshold voltage. A channel region 5, a pair of source-drain regions and an isolating film 2 having a trench isolation structure are selectively formed in a main surface of a semiconductor substrate 1. An upper surface of the isolating film 2 recedes to be lower than an upper surface of the channel region 5 in a trench portion adjacent to side surfaces of the channel region 5 and to be almost on a level with the upper surface of the channel region 5 in other regions. Consequently, a part of the side surfaces of the channel region 5 as well as the upper surface thereof are covered by a gate electrode 4 with a gate insulating film 3 interposed therebetween. A channel width W of the channel region 5 is set to have a value which is equal to or smaller than a double of a maximum channel depletion layer width Xdm. Moreover, a width of the trench adjacent to the side surfaces of the channel region 5 is set to be equal to or smaller than a double of a thickness of the gate electrode 4.
