Abstract

A semiconductor device has a semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor fin which is formed on the semiconductor substrate, which has a long side direction and a short side direction, and which has a carbon-containing silicon film including an impurity and a silicon film formed on the carbon-containing silicon film, a gate electrode which is formed to face both side surfaces of the semiconductor fin in the short side direction, source and drain regions which are respectively formed in the semiconductor fin located in the direction of both sides in the long side direction of the semiconductor fin so as to sandwich the gate electrode, and an element isolation insulating film which is formed on the side surface of the semiconductor fin and between the gate electrode and the semiconductor substrate.

forming a silicon germanium film in the region in which the first silicon film is removed; and

forming the source and drain regions in the silicon germanium film.

4. The semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising epitaxially growing silicon on both side surfaces of the first silicon film located in the direction of both sides of the gate electrode so as to sandwich the gate electrode.

5. The semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising epitaxially growing silicon on the upper surface and both side surfaces of the first silicon film located in the direction of both sides of the gate electrode so as to sandwich the gate electrode.

6. The semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the forming the impurity contained in the carbon-containing silicon film comprises:

providing a mask on both sides of the carbon-containing silicon film; and
