Abstract

The semiconductor device of the present invention includes: a gate insulating film formed on a semiconductor region of a first conductivity type; a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film; and a channel doped layer of the first conductivity type formed in the semiconductor region beneath the gate electrode. The channel doped layer contains carbon as an impurity.

Claims (20)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a gate insulating film formed on a semiconductor region of a first conductivity type;

a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film; extended doped layers of a second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor region under sides of the gate electrode;

pocket doped layers of the first conductivity type formed in the semiconductor region under and in contact with the extended doped layers;

sidewalls formed on lateral faces of the gate electrode; and

source/drain doped layers of the second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor region alongside the respective sidewalls, wherein:

the extended doped layers and the pocket doped layers are provided in an inside of a carbon-containing region on both sides of the gate electrode, and

ions of carbon are doped in regions directly under only the sidewalls and side portions of the gate electrode.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the carbon-containing regions have a diffusion depth equal to or deeper than the pocket doped layers.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein

dopant ions introduced into the pocket doped layers are heavy ions having a relatively high mass number.
