Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming an inter-metal dielectric layer over a substrate; forming a first conductive line embedded in the inter-metal dielectric layer; forming a dielectric structure over the inter-metal dielectric layer and the first conductive line; etching the dielectric structure until the first conductive line is exposed; forming a bottom electrode layer on the exposed first conductive line such that the bottom electrode layer has an U-shaped when viewed in a cross section; forming a ferroelectric layer over the bottom electrode layer; forming a top electrode layer over the ferroelectric layer.
