Abstract
In a method of making a MOSFET-type semiconductor device of this invention, a surface of a semiconductor substrate is covered in a predetermined pattern with an insulating layer comprising a silicon-nitride-containing film or with an insulating layer whose top surface and side surfaces bear a silicon-nitride-containing film, thereby forming on the semiconductor substrate a recess region at which the semiconductor substrate is exposed. An epitaxial silicon film and polycrystalline silicon film are formed simultaneously on the exposed semiconductor substrate and on the insulating film, respectively. A whole channel region and a part of source and drain diffused-layer regions are formed in the epitaxial silicon film, and source and drain diffused-layer regions are formed in the polycrystalline silicon film. A gate electrode of this MOSFET-type semiconductor device may be formed at the recess region by a self-align method.
