Abstract

A semiconductor apparatus on which a MOS transistor having an elevated source and drain structure is formed is arranged to have a gate electrode which is formed on the surface of a silicon substrate through an insulating film. An elevated source film and an elevated drain film each having at least a surface portion constituted by a metal silicide film, being conductive and elevated over the surface of the silicon substrate are formed on a source region and a drain region on the surface of the silicon substrate. Thus, a MOS transistor having a structure in which the surfaces of the source region and the drain region are elevated over the surface of the silicon substrate is formed. A first gate-side-wall insulating film is formed on the side wall of the gate electrode of the MOS transistor and having a bottom surface formed apart from the surface of the silicon substrate. A second gate-side-wall insulating film is formed between the first gate-side-wall insulating film and the gate electrode and on the bottom surface of the first gate-side-wall insulating film. The portion formed on the bottom surface exists in an inner bottom surface portion of the bottom surface of the first gate-s…
