Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a gate electrode formed over a semiconductor substrate, and a sidewall spacer formed on a sidewall of the gate electrode. The sidewall spacer formed along the sidewall parallel to a gate length direction of the gate electrode has a first thickness, and the sidewall spacer formed along the sidewall parallel to a gate width direction of the gate electrode has a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness.
