Abstract
After formation of a groove in a silicon oxide film, a Pt film is formed inside of the groove by electroplating using a conductive underlying film, which has been formed in advance below the silicon oxide film, as a cathode electrode. The silicon oxide film is then removed by etching, followed by dry etching of the conductive underlying film with the Pt film as a mask, whereby a lower electrode of a capacitor is formed from the Pt film and the conductive underlying film which has remained below the Pt film.
