Abstract

A semiconductor device includes: a monocrystalline substrate; an inter-layer film formed on the monocrystalline substrate; a contact hole penetrating the inter-layer film and partially exposing an upper surface of the monocrystalline substrate; a sidewall formed on an inner surface of the contact hole; a plurality of first monocrystalline layers which include few defects, fill the contact hole, and cover the inter-layer film; and a plurality of second monocrystalline layers which include many defects and cover the sidewall and an upper surface of the inter-layer film so as to be sandwiched between the first monocrystalline layers and the inter-layer film.
