Abstract

A thin-film capacitor comprises a substrate, a first electrode, of polycrystalline silicon, a second electrode, a dielectric, and a third electrode such as aluminum in the structure stacked in sequence from bottom to top. The second electrode directly on which the dielectric layer is formed is made from a member selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, ruthenium oxide, ruthenium silicide, rhenium, rhenium oxide, rhemium silicide, osmium, osmium oxide, osmium silicide, rhodium, rhodium oxide, rhodium silicide, iridium, iridium oxide and iridium silicide.
