A semiconductor device having a device separation region and an active region includes a gate oxide film, a source/drain region, and an electrode which is electrically coupled to the source/drain region. The active region is in contact with the gate oxide film at a first face, a portion of the source/drain regions being located above the first face. The electrode is in contact with the source/drain region at a second face, the second face constituting an angle with respect to the first face.
