ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device according to the present invention includes an active region having a MOS transistor and a groove surrounding the periphery of the active region, in which the groove is filled with a combination of a first material that produces a tensile strain in the active region and a second material that produces a compressive strain. Thereby, the foregoing object is achieved.
