Abstract

Semiconductor devices required forming a stress control film to handle different stresses on each side when optimizing the stress on the respective P channel and N channel sections. A unique feature of the semiconductor device of this invention is that P and N channel stress are respectively optimized by making use of a stress control film jointly for the P and N channels that conveys stress in different directions by utilizing the film thickness.
