Method of fabricating semiconductor device having junction isolation insulating layer

Abstract

A semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The provided semiconductor device includes a field oxide layer formed in a semiconductor substrate to define an active region; gate structures formed on the active region; source/drain junctions formed on either side of the gate structures on the semiconductor substrate; a channel silicon layer arranged under the gate insulating layer to operate as a channel for connecting sources and drains; and buried junction isolation insulating layers under the channel silicon layer. The buried junction isolation insulating layers isolate source/drain junction regions of a MOS transistor, so that a short circuit in a bulk region under the channel of a transistor due to the high-integration of the device can be prevented.
