A MOS type semiconductor device, in which both improvement in radiation resistance and increase in withstand voltage is achieved, includes a nitride film formed on a LOCOS film and a PBSG film formed on the nitride film. The refractive index of the nitride film is set in a range of from 2.0 to 2.1 and the thickness of the nitride film is set in a range of from 0.1 Am to 0.5 mum to thereby provide the nitride film as a semi-insulative thin film. Of electron-hole pairs produced in the LOCOS film by gamma-ray irradiation, holes low in mobility are let away to a source electrode via the nitride film to thereby suppress the amount of plus fixed electric charges stored in the LOCOS film. The provision of such a three-layer structure permits improvement in radiation resistance and increase in withstand voltage.
