Abstract

A p-channel MOS transistor includes a gate electrode formed on a silicon substrate in correspondence to a channel region therein via a gate insulation film, the gate electrode carrying sidewall insulation films on respective sidewall surfaces thereof, and source and drain regions of p-type are formed in the substrate at respective outer sides of the sidewall insulation films, wherein each of the source and drain regions encloses a polycrystal region of p-type accumulating therein a compressive stress.
