Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating semiconductor device, comprising: forming first and second gate electrodes on first and second transistor regions in a semiconductor substrate via gate insulating films, respectively, wherein the second transistor region has a conductivity type different from a conductivity type of the first transistor region; forming first side walls on side faces of the first gate electrode and forming a cover film on the second transistor region, the cover film comprising a material same as a material of the first side walls; forming first trenches in the first transistor region by etching the semiconductor substrate using the cover film and the first side walls as masks; forming first epitaxial crystal layers by selectively epitaxially growing first Si system crystals in the first trenches; forming selectively epitaxial growth inhibiting layers only on the first epitaxial crystal layers; forming second trenches in the second transistor region by etching the semiconductor substrate using the first side walls, second side walls and the epitaxial growth inhibiting layers as masks after the cover film is shaped to form the second side walls on side faces of the second gate electrode; and forming second epitaxial crystal layers by selectively epitaxially growing second Si system crystals in the second trenches, wherein the epitaxial growth inhibiting layers comprise a Si system crystal including crystal defects or a Si system amorphous material, the first epitaxial crystal layers are formed by epitaxially growing the first Si system crystals while implanting conductivity type impurity having a predetermined concentration into the first Si system crystals, and the epitaxial growth inhibiting layers are formed by epitaxially growing the first Si system crystals while implanting the conductivity type impurity at a concentration higher than the predetermined concentration into the first Si system crystals.
