Abstract
A method of manufacturing a capacitor comprises a step of forming a first dielectric layer composed of a ferroelectric material or a dielectric material possessing high permittivity on a first electrode, a step of sintering the first dielectric layer, a step of forming a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer, and a step of forming a second electrode on the second dielectric layer. By forming the second dielectric layer having small crystal grain size on the first dielectric layer having large crystal grain size, the surface of the capacitor insulating layer becomes flat.
