A semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the same, wherein a thick side wall oxide film or polysilicon film is formed on the edge portion of the second silicon substrate. At the side wall of the oxide film or polysilicon film, the thickness of an active semiconductor substrate at its edge portion increases, thereby obtaining an increased threshold voltage at the edge portion. That is, the formation of the side wall oxide film is carried out to prevent a gate oxide film of the semiconductor device from being directly formed on each side wall of the active silicon substrate. As a result, it is possible to prevent a degradation in electrical characteristic due to a degradation in threshold voltage caused by a reduced thickness of the active semiconductor substrate at its edge portion.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for fabricating a semiconductor device having a silicon-on-insulator structure, comprising the steps of:depositing a first silicon oxide film over a first silicon substrate and then depositing a silicon substrate layer over the first silicon oxide film;patterning the silicon substrate layer, thereby forming a second silicon substrate which has a trapezoidal cross-sectional structure and is disposed on the first silicon oxide film at an active region;forming a side wall insulating film doped with impurity ions having a conduction type different from that of the second silicon substrate on each side wall of the second silicon substrate;forming a doped region in the side wall insulating film in such a manner that the impurity ions doped in the side wall insulating film are diffused into the side wall of the second silicon substrate;sequentially forming a gate oxide film and a gate electrode on a portion of the second silicon substrate; andimplanting impurity ions in a high concentration in portions of the second substrate not overlapping with the gate electrode, thereby forming source/drain impurity diffusion regions.
