Abstract
In a second direction, in a plan view, an n-channel MOS transistor and an expanding film are adjacent. Therefore, the n-channel MOS transistor receives a positive stress in the direction in which a channel length is extended from the expanding film. As a result, a positive tensile strain in an electron moving direction is generated in a channel of the n-channel MOS transistor. On the other hand, in the second direction, in a plan view, a p-channel MOS transistor and the expanding film are shifted from each other. Therefore, the p-channel MOS transistor receives a positive stress in the direction in which a channel length is narrowed from the expanding film. As a result, a positive compressive strain in a hole moving direction is generated in a channel of the p-channel MOS transistor. Thus, both on-currents of the n-channel MOS transistor and the p-channel MOS transistor can be improved.
