Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an insulator layer, and an n-channel MIS transistor having an n channel and a pMIS transistor having a p channel which are formed on the insulator layer, wherein the n channel of the n-channel MIS transistor is formed of an Si layer having a uniaxial tensile strain in a channel length direction, the p channel of the p-channel MIS transistor is formed of an SiGe or Ge layer having a uniaxial compressive strain in the channel length direction, and the channel length direction of each of the n-channel MIS transistor and the p-channel MIS transistor is a <110> direction.
