Abstract
Disclosed herein a thin film capacitor that includes a lower electrode layer, an upper electrode layer, and a dielectric layer disposed between the lower electrode layer and the upper electrode layer. The dielectric layer has a through hole. The upper electrode layer has a connection part connected to the lower electrode layer through the through hole and an electrode part insulated from the connection part by a slit. A surface of the lower electrode layer that contacts the connection part through the through hole includes an annular area positioned along an inner wall surface of the through hole and a center area surrounded by the annular area. The annular area is lower in surface roughness than the center area.
