A semiconductor device and fabricating method are provided, by which
device drivability can be increased by forming second LDD regions after
isolating first LDD regions from source/drain regions to prevent heavily
doped impurities therein from diffusing into the first LDD regions and to
provide stepped densities within the LDD regions. The method includes the
steps of stacking oxide and conductive layers on a semiconductor
substrate, forming a gate electrode by patterning the conductive layer,
etching the exposed substrate to a first depth, forming a first LDD
region in the etched substrate, forming a spacer on a sidewall of the
gate electrode, forming a source/drain region in the substrate having the
spacer, etching the substrate having the source/drain region to a second
depth, and forming a second LDD region between the first LDD region and
the source/drain region of the etched substrate.
