Abstract
A semiconductor device has field shield isolation or trench type isolation between elements which suppresses penetration of field oxide into an element active region of the device. A common gate is located between two MOS transistors, which may be of opposite conductivity type. After gate electrode wiring layers are formed in a field region and an active region to the same level, a pad polysilicon film formed on the entire surface to cover the patterns of these gate electrode wiring layers, which are in separated patterns.
