Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:an SOI substrate including a semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer formed on the semiconductor substrate and an SOI layer formed on the insulating layer;a transistor formed on the SOI layer and including(a) a first source/drain region formed in the SOI layer,(b) a gate electrode formed on the SOI layer with a gate insulation film interposed therebetween, and(c) a second source/drain region formed in the SOI layer; anda conductive layer extending above the gate electrode and in electrical contact with the first source/drain region, wherein each of the gate electrode and the conductive layer has an etched side surface in a single plane extending in a substantially perpendicular direction above the transistor in proximity to an edge of the second source/drain region.
