ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device includes: a first semiconductor region formed on a substrate and having an upper surface and a side surface; a first impurity region of a first conductivity type formed in an upper portion of the first semiconductor region; a second impurity region of a first conductivity type formed in a side portion of the first semiconductor region; and a gate insulating film formed so as to cover at least a side surface and an upper corner of a predetermined portion of the first semiconductor region. A radius of curvature r′ of an upper corner of a portion of the first semiconductor region located outside the gate insulating film is greater than a radius of curvature r of an upper corner of a portion of the first semiconductor region located under the gate insulating film and is less than or equal to 2r.
