ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device has: active regions including a p-type active region; an insulated gate electrode structure formed on each of the active regions, and having a gate insulating film and a gate electrode formed thereon; side wall spacers formed on side walls of the insulated gate electrode structures; source/drain regions having extension regions having the opposite conductivity type to that of the active region and formed on both sides of the insulated gate electrode structures and source/drain diffusion layers having the opposite conductivity type and formed in the active regions outside of the side wall spacers; first recess regions formed by digging down the n-type source/drain regions in the p-type active region from surfaces of the n-type source/drain regions; and a first nitride film having tensile stress formed covering the p-type active region and burying the first recess regions.
