Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate that has an oxide film selectively formed on a part thereof; a semiconductor layer that is formed on the oxide film by epitaxial growth; a first gate electrode that is formed on the semiconductor layer; first source/drain layers that are formed on the semiconductor layer so as to be disposed at both sides of the first gate electrode, respectively; a second gate electrode that is formed on the semiconductor substrate; and second source/drain layers that are formed on the semiconductor substrate so as to be disposed at both sides of the second gate electrode, respectively.
