Semiconductor device and method for manufacturing semiconductor device

An MIM capacitor or an MIS capacitor in semiconductor devices is formed of a thin dielectric layer having a total film thickness less than 100-nm and including a high-dielectric-constant amorphous insulating film, high-breakdown-voltage amorphous films such as of SiO, and high-dielectric-constant amorphous buffer films between an upper electrode and a lower electrode.
