Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device by which the length of nanowires perpendicularly formed can be fabricated with high reproducibility. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a first layer; forming a stop layer on the first layer, the stop layer having a higher Young's modulus than the first layer; forming a recess by partially removing the first layer and the stop layer; growing nanowires in the recess; forming a planarizing layer; removing the planarizing layer to the level of the stop layer to expose the nanowires from the surface of the planarizing layer; and forming an electrode so as to be in contact with the upper ends of the nanowires.
