Abstract
A method for fabricating a ferroelectric capacitive element of this invention includes the steps of forming a lower electrode made of a first conductive film on a substrate; forming a first ferroelectric film including bismuth in a first concentration on the lower electrode; forming a second ferroelectric film including bismuth in a second concentration on the first ferroelectric film; performing annealing after forming the first ferroelectric film and the second ferroelectric film; and forming an upper electrode made of a second conductive film on the second ferroelectric film after the annealing. The first conductive film is a metal film more easily etched than a platinum film, and the second ferroelectric film is formed in such a manner that the second concentration is lower than the first concentration before the annealing.
