Abstract
A semiconductor device including a substrate, a capacitor, a stop layer, a first contact, and a second contact is provided. The substrate includes a memory array region and a peripheral circuit region. The capacitor is located in the memory array region. The capacitor includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an insulating layer. The second electrode is located on the first electrode. The insulating layer is located between the first electrode and the second electrode. The stop layer is located on the second electrode in the memory array region and extends into the peripheral circuit region. A material of the stop layer is not a conductive material. The first contact is located in the memory array region, passes through the stop layer, and is electrically connected to the second electrode. The second contact is located in the peripheral circuit region and passes through the stop layer.
