Abstract

A semiconductor device has a semiconductor substrate, a field insulating film disposed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate, a base insulating film disposed on a surface of the field insulating film, and a resistor disposed on the base insulating film. The resistor is formed of a polycrystalline silicon film and has a resistance region and electrode lead-out regions disposed at both ends of the resistance region. A portion of the base insulating film below the resistance region projects with respect to portions of the base insulating film below the electrode lead-out regions so that a height difference occurs therebetween. The resistance region has a thickness thinner than that of each of the electrode lead-out regions.
