Abstract

A semiconductor device having a stressor is provided. A first trench and a second trench spaced apart from each other are formed in a substrate. A channel area is defined between the first trench and the second trench. A gate dielectric layer is formed on the channel area. A gate electrode is formed on the gate dielectric layer. The stressor includes a plurality of semiconductor layers formed in the first trench and the second trench and a plurality of interlayers formed between the semiconductor layers. Sidewalls of the first trench and the second trench are v-shaped (e.g., have a < or > shape).
