A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: forming a first silicon oxide film which covers a first region on the top surface of a silicon substrate, but which does not cover a second region and a third region thereon; oxidizing the silicon substrate to thicken the first silicon oxide film formed on the first region, and to form a second silicon oxide film on the second region and the third region; forming a first silicon film which covers the first region and the second region, but which does not cover the third region; etching and removing the second silicon oxide film formed on the third region by using the first silicon film as a mask; and forming a third silicon oxide film on the third region, the third silicon oxide film being thinner than the second silicon oxide film.

Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same

A semiconductor apparatus includes: a substrate of single crystal silicon; a first device formed in a first region of a surface of the substrate; a first interlayer insulating film formed on the substrate; a polycrystalline silicon layer formed in a second region on the first interlayer insulating film; a second device formed in the polycrystalline silicon layer; a second interlayer insulating film formed on the first interlayer insulating film, the second interlayer insulating film covering the polycrystalline silicon layer; and a pad formed in a third region on the second interlayer insulating film. The second region includes at least part of a directly overlying zone of the first region. The third region includes at least part of a region which is the directly overlying zone of the first region and a directly overlying zone of the second region.
