Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a first pocket region and a second pocket region. The source region includes a first extension region having a concentration peak located at a first depth from a surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the first pocket region has a concentration peak located deeper than the first depth, and the drain region includes a second extension region having a concentration peak located at a second depth from the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the second pocket region has a concentration peak located shallower than the second depth.

Claims (14)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type;

a gate insulating film on the semiconductor substrate;

a gate electrode on the gate insulating film;

a source region and a drain region of a second conductivity type in the semiconductor substrate;
