Abstract
A lower electrode of a stacked capacitor in accordance with the present invention is formed of a silicon layer formed by low pressure CVD method. The silicon layer is formed by thermal decomposition of monosilane gas at a prescribed temperature. By setting partial pressure of the monosilane gas and formation temperature at prescribed values, the silicon layer is formed to be in a transitional state between poly crystal and amorphous. Such silicon layer has large concaves and convexes on the surface thereof. Consequently, opposing areas of the electrodes of the capacitor can be increased, and therefore electrostatic capacitance of the capacitor is also increased.
