Abstract

The capacitor includes a first electrode which has a hollow structure formed by removal of a nitride film and which is formed from a conductive layer, and a second electrode which is formed from a conductive layer on the outside surface of the first electrode and on the surface of the hollow structure, while an insulating film is sandwiched between the first electrode and the second electrode. The capacitor prevents a short circuit from arising between a capacitor electrode and a wiring pattern in the proximity of the capacitor electrode in an oxide film serving as an interlayer insulating film.
