Abstract

Example embodiments relate to a capacitor, a method of forming the same, a semiconductor device having the capacitor and a method of manufacturing the same. Other example embodiments are directed to a capacitor having an upper electrode structure including a first upper electrode and a second upper electrode, a method of forming the same, a semiconductor device having the capacitor and a method of manufacturing the same. In a method of forming a capacitor, a lower electrode may be formed on a substrate, and then a dielectric layer may be formed on the lower electrode. An upper electrode structure may be formed on the dielectric layer. The upper electrode structure may include a first upper electrode and a second upper electrode. The second upper electrode may include at least two of a silicon layer, a first silicon germanium layer and a second silicon germanium layer doped with p-type impurities. The upper electrode structure may be formed without generating voids between the dielectric layer and the upper electrode structure. The capacitor and the semiconductor device having the upper electrode structure may have improved electrical characteristics.
