A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a capacitor contact structure electrically connected to the substrate, and a lower electrode connected to the capacitor contact structure. The lower electrode includes a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer, the second electrode layer is on the first electrode layer, and the first electrode layer includes a group 14 element. The device includes a capacitor insulating layer covering the lower electrode, and an upper electrode covering the capacitor insulating layer. The first electrode layer includes an outer sidewall in contact with the capacitor insulating layer, the first electrode layer includes an inner sidewall in contact with the second electrode layer, and a concentration of the group 14 element in the inner sidewall of the first electrode layer is higher than a concentration of the group 14 element in the outer sidewall of the first electrode layer.
