Abstract
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device using a high dielectric material as a dielectric film of a capacitor wherein an etch stopping layer such as BST having a good dry etch selectivity with respect to an interlayer insulating film is formed on the adhesion layer formed on an upper electrode. This etch stopping layer prevents the upper electrode of a capacitor from being exposed to be etched during forming a metal contact.
