When an element isolation film is formed by the LOCOS technique, as an underlying buffer layer of an oxidation resisting film, a pad oxidation film and pad poly-Si film are used. When an element is formed, they are used as a gate oxide film and a part of a gate electrode to relax a level difference between the gate electrode and the wiring on the element isolation film. A first poly-Si film (pad poly-Si film) is etched to leave its certain thickness to relax the level difference more greatly. In such a process, in manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit using the LOCOS technique, the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced and the level difference between the gate electrode on the gate insulating film and the wiring on the element isolation film can be relaxed.
