A semiconductor device may include a p-channel semiconductor active region and an n-channel semiconductor active region. An element isolation insulating layer electrically isolates the p-channel semiconductor active region from the n-channel semiconductor active region. An insulating layer made of a different material, being in contact with both ends, in its channel length direction, of the p-channel semiconductor active region applies a compression stress in the channel length direction to a channel of the p-channel semiconductor active region. The p-channel semiconductor active region is surrounded by the insulating layer, in the channel length direction, of the p-channel semiconductor active region and by the element isolation insulating layer, parallel to the channel length direction, of the p-channel semiconductor active region. The n-channel semiconductor active region is surrounded by the element isolation insulating layer.
