1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a first MIS transistor which is driven at a relatively low source voltage; and
a second MIS transistor which is driven at a relatively high source voltage, the first MIS transistor and the second MIS transistor being formed on the same semiconductor substrate,
wherein the first MIS transistor includes:
a first gate insulating film formed on the semiconductor substrate;
a first gate electrode formed on the first gate insulating film;
a first sidewall insulating film formed at each side face of the first gate electrode; and
a first impurity diffusion region formed in a region of the semiconductor substrate which is located on each side of the first gate electrode,
the second MIS transistor includes:
a second gate insulating film formed on the semiconductor substrate;
a second gate electrode formed on the second gate insulating film;
a second sidewall insulating film formed at each side face of the second gate electrode; and
a second impurity diffusion region formed in a region of the semiconductor substrate which is located on each side of the second gate electrode, and
a first channel region is formed beneath the first gate insulting film so as not to be offset relative to the first impurity diffusion region while a second channel region is formed beneath the second gate insulating film so as to be offset relative to the second impurity diffusion region.
