Abstract

The present invention is a high quality semiconductor memory device using a ferroelectric thin film capacitor as a memory capacitor at a high manufacturing yield, the ferroelectric thin film of the capacitor is specified such that the relative standard deviation of crystal grain sizes is 13% or less, to thereby ensure a high remanent polarization value and a small film fatigue (large rewritable number).
