A semiconductor-device production method includes a first step of forming a fin-shaped semiconductor layer on a semiconductor substrate and forming a first insulating film around the fin-shaped semiconductor layer, and a second step of, after the first step, forming a second insulating film around the fin-shaped semiconductor layer, depositing a first polysilicon on the second insulating film to achieve planarization, forming, in a direction perpendicular to a direction of the fin-shaped semiconductor layer, a second resist for forming a first gate line and a first pillar-shaped semiconductor layer and a third resist for forming a first contact line and a second pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, and etching the first polysilicon, the second insulating film, and the fin-shaped semiconductor layer to form the first pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, a first dummy gate formed from the first polysilicon, the second pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, and a second dummy gate formed from the first polysilicon.
