Abstract
A second gate electrode is adjacent, in a Y direction, to a first tip of a semiconductor layer in a first active region such that a protruding distance of a second tip of the second gate electrode protruded, in a X direction, from the semiconductor layer in the first active region is greater than or equal to 0. Also, the first tip of the semiconductor layer in the first active region is covered with a second sidewall spacer. Further, a first epitaxial layer and the second gate electrode are electrically connected to each other via a first shared contact plug formed so as to across the first epitaxial layer, the second sidewall spacer and the second gate electrode.
