A plurality of capacitive elements from which a kind differs mutually are accumulated and arranged on a semiconductor substrate, and they are connected in parallel. These capacitive elements are arranged to the same plane region, and make a plane size almost the same. A lower capacitive element is an MOS type capacitive element which uses as both electrodes the n-type semiconductor region formed in the semiconductor substrate, and the upper electrode formed via the insulation film on the n-type semiconductor region. The MIM type capacitive element formed with the pattern of the comb-type of a wiring is arranged in the upper part of a lower capacitive element, and this is connected with a lower capacitive element in parallel.
