Abstract
In a semiconductor memory device with a high operating current and a method of manufacturing the same, a semiconductor substrate is formed in which a memory cell region and a peripheral circuit region including an N-channel metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) region and a P-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) region are defined. A gate electrode with sidewall spacers is formed in each of the memory cell region and the peripheral circuit region. Source and drain regions are formed in the semiconductor substrate at sides of the gate electrode to form metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistors. A first etch stop layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate where the MOS transistors are formed. A second etch stop layer is selectively formed in the NMOS region of the peripheral circuit region.
