Abstract

A first insulation film is provided on a semiconductor substrate. A high resistance element formed from polysilicon is provided on the first insulation film. A second insulation film is provided on the high resistance element. A hydrogen diffusion preventing film having a hydrogen diffusion coefficient smaller than that of the second insulation film is provided on the second insulation film. The hydrogen diffusion preventing film covers a part of the high resistance element.
