Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a substrate; an insulating film formed thereon; a first semiconductor layer where strain is induced in the directions parallel to the surface of the substrate, the first semiconductor layer being on the insulating film; a source region and a drain region formed in the first semiconductor layer; and a gate layered body formed of a gate insulating film and a gate electrode on the first semiconductor layer is disclosed. The method includes the steps of (a) forming a second semiconductor layer by epitaxial growth on the first semiconductor layer; (b) heating the second semiconductor layer; and (c) removing the second semiconductor layer. The second semiconductor layer is different in lattice constant in an in-plane direction from the first semiconductor layer. Step (b) induces the strain in the first semiconductor layer by exposing the surface of the second semiconductor layer to energy lines.
