1. A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising:
a first MISFET formed in a first region of a semiconductor substrate; and
a second MISFET formed in a second region of the semiconductor substrate,
wherein the first MISFET includes:
a first insulation film formed over the first region;
a first portion of a third insulation film formed over the first insulation film;
a first gate electrode of the first MISFET formed over the first portion of the third insulation film;
wherein the second MISFET includes:
a second insulation film formed over the second region;
a second portion of the third insulation film formed over the second insulation film;
a second gate electrode of the second MISFET formed over the second portion of the third insulation film;
wherein the first and second insulation films include silicon, oxygen and nitrogen;
wherein the third insulation film has a greater dielectric constant than each of the first and second insulation films,
wherein a thickness of the first insulation film is larger than a thickness of the second insulation film; and
wherein a thickness of the third insulation film is greater than the thicknesses of the first insulation film and the second insulation film.
