Abstract

A semiconductor device according to the present disclosure includes a channel portion, a gate electrode disposed opposite the channel portion via a gate insulating film, and source/drain regions disposed at both edges of the channel portion. The source/drain regions include semiconductor layers that have a first conductivity type and that are formed inside recessed portions disposed on a base body. Impurity layers having a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type are formed between the base body and bottom portions of the semiconductor layers.
