Abstract

Disclosed herein is a semiconductor device including a semiconductor substrate provided with an N-type FET and P-type FET, with a gate electrode of the N-type FET and a gate electrode of the P-type FET having undergone full-silicidation, wherein the gate electrode of the P-type FET has such a sectional shape in the gate length direction that the gate length decreases as one goes upwards from a surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the gate electrode of the N-type FET has such a sectional shape in the gate length direction that the gate length increases as one goes upwards from the surface of the semiconductor substrate.

Claims (10)
