Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor device with a reference voltage circuit including an enhancement type transistor having P-type polycrystalline silicon as a first gate electrode, and a depletion type transistor having N-type polycrystalline silicon as a second gate electrode, in which the enhancement type transistor has an impermeable film that is locally provided to cover the first gate electrode via an interlayer insulating film disposed on the first gate electrode, and a nitride film that has an opening portion which is provided larger than the first gate electrode and smaller than the impermeable film, and is provided to cover a periphery of the impermeable film, and the depletion type transistor has a nitride film that is directly provided on an interlayer insulating film disposed on the second gate electrode and covers the depletion type transistor without a gap.
