To shorten the production process of the semiconductor device having the capacitance element. The pad oxide film ( ) and the first polycrystalline silicon layer ( ) are used as a stress buffering material at the time of formation of the element separation oxide film. These are not removed and used as the capacitance insulation film and a portion of the upper electrode of the capacitance element. Thereby, the removing process of the pad&bull;polycrystalline silicon layer, and the dummy oxidation and its removing process in the conventional example, can be omitted and the process can be shortened. Further, a problem of the impurity enhanced oxidation at the time of formation of the capacitance insulation film can be solved.
