Abstract
An integrated circuit device includes a capacitor structure, wherein the capacitor structure includes: a bottom electrode over a substrate; a supporter on a sidewall of the bottom electrode; a dielectric layer on the bottom electrode and the supporter; and a top electrode on the dielectric layer and covering the bottom electrode. The bottom electrode comprises: a base electrode layer over the substrate and extending in a first direction that is perpendicular to a top surface of the substrate, and a conductive capping layer including niobium nitride that is between a sidewall of the base electrode layer and the dielectric layer, and also between a top surface of the base electrode layer and the dielectric layer.
