Abstract
Source and drain regions include regions of an epitaxial silicon film on the surface of the substrate and regions in the substrate. The depth of junctions of the source and drain regions is identical to or shallower than the depth of junctions of extension regions. As a result, even if the thickness of the side wall layer is reduced, since the depletion layer of the extension regions with lower impurity concentration compared with the source and drain regions is predominant, the short channel effect has a smaller effect.
