A method for fabricating a ferroelectric capacitive element of this invention includes the steps of forming a lower electrode made of a first conductive film on a substrate; forming a first ferroelectric film including bismuth in a first concentration on the lower electrode; forming a second ferroelectric film including bismuth in a second concentration on the first ferroelectric film; performing annealing after forming the first ferroelectric film and the second ferroelectric film; and forming an upper electrode made of a second conductive film on the second ferroelectric film after the annealing. The first conductive film is a metal film more easily etched than a platinum film, and the second ferroelectric film is formed in such a manner that the second concentration is lower than the first concentration before the annealing.

In a method for forming a ferroelectric film of insulating metal oxide on a surface of an electrode with a concave or a convex or in convex shape which is formed above a substrate, multiple types of source gases constituting a material gas and each containing an organometallic compound are introduced into a chamber and main components of the multiple types of source gases are allowed to chemically react with one another with the chemical reaction proceeding depending on the reaction rate. Then, the ferroelectric film is deposited on the surface of the electrode.

Reference infrared-absorption spectrum patterns are prepared in advance as a database. The infrared-absorption spectrum pattern of a film targeted for measurement is measured using FT-IR spectroscopy. Subsequently, multivariate analysis is performed using PLS regression, based on the reference infrared-absorption spectrum patterns and the infrared-absorption spectrum pattern of the target film. The film-growing temperature and other factors are then computed in accordance with the analysis results.
