Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate divided into a cell region and a peripheral circuit region defined in a first direction, wherein the peripheral circuit region is divided into a first region and a second region defined in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction; gate lines formed over the semiconductor substrate in the cell region and arranged in the second direction; and a capacitor including lower electrodes over the semiconductor substrate, a dielectric layer and an upper electrode, wherein the lower electrodes in the first and second regions, separated from each other in the first direction and coupled to each other in the first region, the dielectric layer is formed along surfaces of the lower electrodes in the second region, and the upper electrode is formed over the dielectric layer.
