Abstract
At least a partial layer of an upper capacitor electrode is formed by metal carbide, preferably by a transition metal carbide. In one embodiment, the metal carbide layer is formed by depositing an alternating sequence of metal-containing layers and carbon-containing layers on top of one another and then subjecting them to a heat treatment, in such a manner that they mix with one another. The patterning of the layer sequence can be carried out before the carbide formation step.
