Abstract
Roughness is eliminated and planarization is achieved by a metal oxide film on a surface of a lower electrode. Consequently, damage on a capacitive film caused by the roughness of the lower electrode is reduced. Furthermore, physical damage on the capacitive film is reduced by forming a first layer of an upper electrode by, for example, CVD. Consequently, the damage on the capacitive film is suppressed, and the reliability of the capacitive film is improved. Furthermore, not by forming the whole upper electrode by the CVD or the like, but by forming a second layer by PCD or the like on the first layer, an increase in resistance of the upper electrode is suppressed as well.
