An improved method of manufacturing semiconductor devices having a stacked structure is disclosed. A p-channel semiconductor substrate is prepared, and on the major surface of the substrate, n-channel source and drain regions and a gate electrode are formed to provide a n-channel transistor. Sidewalls are formed of P type single-crystal silicon on the opposite size of the gate electrode of n-channel transistor with an insulating layer interposed between the sidewalls and the gate electrode. A single-crystal layer covers the source, drain and gate electrode of the n-channel transistor and the sidewall structures. A P type impurity present in the sidewalls is diffused into the single-crystal layer.
