ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device according to one embodiment includes: forming a SiGe crystal layer on a semiconductor substrate, the SiGe crystal layer having a first plane and a second plane inclined with respect to the first plane; forming an amorphous Si film on the SiGe crystal layer; crystallizing a portion located adjacent to the first and second planes of the amorphous Si film by applying heat treatment using the first and second planes of the SiGe crystal layer as a seed, thereby forming a Si crystal layer; selectively removing or thinning a portion of the amorphous Si film that is not crystallized by the heat treatment; applying oxidation treatment to a surface of the Si crystal layer, thereby forming a gate insulating film on the surface of the Si crystal layer; and forming a gate electrode on the gate insulating film.
