ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein are a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, which can prevent a stepped gate from leaning and increase the channel length of the device, thus contributing to an increase in the degree of integration of the device, as well as a semiconductor device manufactured thereby. The method comprises the steps of: forming in a silicon substrate a isolation film defining an active region; selectively etching each of both sides of the active region to form a first recess and a first protrusion surrounded by the first recess and located at the central portion of the active region; selectively etching the bottom of the first recess and either side of the first protrusion to form a second recess and a second central protrusion surrounded by the second recess; and forming a gate on a portion of the active region extending from each of both edges of the second central protrusion to a portion of the second recess of the active region.
