Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor device including, on the same semiconductor substrate, a transistor element, a capacitor, and a resistor. The capacitor is formed on an active region, and the resistor is formed on an element isolation region, both formed of the same polysilicon film. By CMP or etch-back, the surface is ground down while planarizing the surface until a resistor has a desired thickness. Owing to a difference in height between the active region and the element isolation region, a thin resistor and a thick upper electrode of the capacitor are formed to prevent passing through of a contact.
