Abstract

The present invention provides a semiconductor device which includes a substrate having a projection-shaped semiconductor element region, a gate electrode formed through a gate insulating film on the upper face and side face of the element region, and a first conductivity type source region and drain region provided in a manner to form a channel region on the upper face of the element region across the gate electrode, and which has a high concentration impurity region containing a second conductivity type impurity at a concentration higher than that on the surface of the channel region in the central part of the projection-shaped semiconductor element region.
