Abstract
In making a field effect transistor, a dummy gate electrode is formed before a gate electrode is formed. Extension regions, a side wall silicon nitride film, source/drain regions, a silicon oxide film, and other elements are formed with respect to the dummy gate electrode. The dummy gate electrode is removed, and a part of the extension regions diffused into a region immediately under the dummy gate electrode is removed. The removed part is filled with silicon selection epitaxial film. Thereafter, the intended gate electrode is formed. This production method produces a field effect transistor that prevents deterioration of electrical characteristics caused by the short channel effect and parasitic resistance.
