Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:a substrate of a first conductivity type; a first structure having a first conductive layer formed on a main surface in a first region of said substrate with a first insulating film formed between said substrate and said first conductive layer; a second structure having a second conductive layer formed on said main surface in a second region of said substrate with a second insulating film formed between said substrate and said second conductive layer; a first sidewall oxide film of a first width formed on a side surface of said first conductive layer; a second sidewall oxide film of a second width larger than said first width formed on a side surface of said second conductive layer; a pair of first impurity regions of a second conductivity type sandwiching therebetween a portion of said substrate which underlines said first structure and being formed in said main surface in said first region of said substrate; a pair of second impurity regions of said second conductivity type sandwiching therebetween another portion of said substrate which underlines said second structure and being formed in said main surface in said second region of said substrate; and a first transistor including said first structure and said pair of first impurity regions being a transistor having a greater emphasis on a current driving capability than an operation speed capability, and a second transistor including said second structure and said pair of second impurity regions being a transistor having a greater emphasis on the operation speed capability than the current driving capability, wherein an amount of overlap between said second conductive layer and said pair of second impurity regions in plan view is smaller than an amount of overlap between said first conductive layer and said pair of first impurity regions in said plan view, said first structure further has a third conductive layer formed on said first conductive layer and a length of said third conductive layer is greater than said first conductive layer, said second structure further has a fourth conductive layer formed on said second conductive layer and a length of said fourth conductive layer is greater than said second conductive layer, and said second sidewall oxide film projects from side surface positions of said fourth conductive layer.
