The present invention provides a semiconductor device including n-channel field effect transistors and p-channel field effect transistors all of which have excellent drain current characteristics.In a semiconductor device including an n-channel field effect transistor 10 and a p-channel field effect transistor 30, a stress control film 19 covering a gate electrode 15 of the n-channel field effect transistor 10 undergoes film stress mainly composed of tensile stress. A stress control film 39 covering a gate electrode 15 of the p-channel field effect transistor 30 undergoes film stress mainly caused by compression stress compared to the film 19 of the n-channel field effect transistor 10. Accordingly, drain current is expected to be improved in both the n-channel field effect transistor and the p-channel field effect transistor. Consequently, the characteristics can be generally improved.

A SRAM of complete CMOS type having its memory cell composed of six MISFETs, in which a pair of local wiring lines for connecting the input/output terminals of CMOS inverters are formed of a refractory metal silicide layer formed over a first conducting layer constituting the individual gate electrodes of the drive MISFETs, the transfer MISFETs and the load MISFETs of the memory cell and in which a reference voltage line formed over the local wiring lines is arranged to be superposed over the local wiring lines to form a capacity element. Moreover, the capacity element is formed between the local wiring lines and the first conducting layer by superposing the local wiring lines over the first conducting layer. Moreover, the local wiring lines are formed by using resistance lowering means such as silicification. In addition, there are made common the means for lowering the resistance of the gate electrode of the transfer MISFETs and the means for forming the local wiring lines.

The metal layers embedded into the contact holes of various kinds in shape are used as the lines and are employed as the lines for controlling the substrate bias. The first-layer metal line layers are made thin so as to be also employed as the lines for controlling the substrate bias. Moreover, the second-layer metal line layers are employed as the copper line layers. Thereby, a semiconductor integrated circuit which allows a high-speed and low-power operation is provided with a small area and without increasing the number of the masks.

Manufacturing a semiconductor device avoiding an increase of transistor leak current or reduction of the withstanding voltage characteristics is by at least one of: The pad oxide film is removed along the substrate surface from the upper edge of the groove over a distance ranging from 5 to 40 nm: The exposed surface of the semiconductor substrate undergoes removal by isotropic etching within 20 nm; and oxidizing a groove portion formed in a semiconductor substrate in an oxidation environment with a gas ratio of hydrogen (H2) to oxygen (O2) being less than or equal to 0.5, an increase of the curvature radius beyond 3nm is achieved without associating the risk of creation of any level difference on the substrate surface at or near the upper groove edge portions in a groove separation structure. This eliminates either an increase of transistor leak current or reduction of the withstanding voltage characteristics thereof otherwise occurring due to local electric field concentration near or around the terminate ends of a gate electrode film which in turn leads to an ability to improve electrical reliability of transistors used.
