ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device, which can use silicon-germanium for a source/drain extension of pMOS, form a silicide layer on the source/drain, and realize a high-speed operation, is provided by comprising a gate electrode formed in a first conductive type region of a semiconductor substrate via an insulator, a first sidewall formed on a side face of the gate electrode, a second sidewall formed on a side face of the first sidewall, a semiconductor layer formed below the second sidewall, including a first impurity layer of a second conductive type and containing germanium, a second impurity layer formed in a region outside the second sidewall and containing impurities of the second conductive type with a higher concentration than those in the first impurity layer, and a silicide layer formed on the second impurity layer.
